Rapala Shad Rap Elite 95mm Hard Body Lure

The Rapala Shad Rap Elite 95mm has been specifically designed in Australia to handle harsh environments and stand up to the savage predators that call Australian waters home, combining premium balsa construction with heavy-duty modern engineering for maximum casting distance and exceptional durability. This floating lure seamlessly blends traditional crankbait performance with jerkbait versatility, making it perfect for both casting long distances and working structure with varied retrieval techniques. The wire-through construction provides extreme strength for battling Australia's most aggressive species, whilst the responsive balsa body delivers the highly variable action that has made the Shad Rap series legendary. On slow steady retrieves, the lure functions as a traditional crankbait with the bib bouncing and deflecting around snags and structure, creating fish-attracting vibrations and erratic movements. Increasing retrieval speed and adding rod twitches transforms the lure's behaviour into a jerkbait presentation, darting and twitching in ways that draw strikes from even the wariest predators holding tight in cover. The natural baitfish profile combined with Rapala's sophisticated Elite foil finishes and HD printed colour patterns creates exceptional visual realism suited to both fresh and saltwater environments. The premium balsa construction ensures the lure is incredibly responsive to rod movements whilst maintaining consistent action across varying speeds, from crawling retrieves over structure to aggressive burns through open water. Factory-fitted with quality VMC treble hooks featuring exceptional sharpness and corrosion resistance, the Shad Rap Elite 95mm delivers solid hook-ups and reliable performance in demanding Australian conditions. Hand-tuned and tested for perfection, this lure represents the evolution of the classic Shad Rap optimised specifically for Australian species including barramundi, Murray cod, bass, yellowbelly, flathead, mangrove jack and aggressive estuary predators throughout the country.
