Rapala Shad Rap RS Bass Fishing?
I got this lure at the local tackle shop because some said that I needed some sort of crankbait in my tackle box. It runs from 5 to 15 foot deep, and many said it works best in the fall. Does this thing work in the summer, too? I heard that if you fish deep rocks with a crankbait, you're guaranteed to get some strikes. How do you fish this thing? All answers, except irrelevant ones, will be appreciated.
Crankbaits work all throughout the year. The thing about the shad rap RS is that it suspends, which means that when you stop your retrieve, it neither sinks nor floats. This quality makes it a MUST for winter bass fishing.
And yes, it will work in the summer too. Find a ledge, channel drop, or other steep drop off and cast to the ledge, retrieving the crank from shallow to deep. Or, if you have a rocky bottom, retrieve it quickly and bounce it off the bottom. When you feel it hit something, stop reeling and let it suspend for a second or too. You'll get strikes when you pause.
Keep in mind that you can adjust the running depth by what line you use. Lighter test line and fluorocarbon line will run deeper, monofilament line and heavier test line will run shallower.
Good luck!
