GlassRap#4

[JB]

I won the nascar pool at work and got a big ol envelope of 10's and 20's, so of course the bait monkey bite and made me wonder how my Rapala stock was in the ol tackle box, and I ended up deciding to scout out
some glass raps, that I had seen on tv for walleye and then later for bass..
I didn't find any of the #7 size that I wanted, but did get 3 perch shad raps and a few cotton Cordell's in perch, then my eyes spotted a lure color I had been looking for years..it turned out to be the Glassrap#4..heres a pic

Heres a chart to view other colors

Its the crank bait on the far right..

What I can't believe about this lure is the size, a number 4
(who knew?)
Its almost a identical replica of shad I ve seen almost every lake and river up here, put the unique quality is that from the top angler looking in
you see a flash of chartreuse, (I was looking for rapala's in white and chartrue to replace the mangled ones I have already)
and from the side view you get a nice flash of purple and then the shad white, its a mirror image of what you see in
the river...plus at a small size that "match's the hatch" when the time is right..
Once I got it out of the box at home and kept looking at the reflections, I got to thinking " how many times have you got to some body of water to prefish a tourney, and see that all the minnows running the bank are way smaller than almost all your crank baits..
well, this glassrap#4 fits the bill, maybe 1 1/2 inch long and so sweet!

JB it's been a long time since I've won any kind of pool. Congrats. Those #4's might just be the ticket. Let us know how they do. I might just try one over here in PA. Have you ever used a twitchin Rap? I was wondering if they are productive.

#4 will have to be tuned -every one of them- they are not tuned at the factory.for some reason.. i totally dislike the glass raps..-2 light- i will stick with the regular shad rap in wood thanks..

Dang it Zooker, I got 2 of them the purple shad and the citrus shad.I hate messing with tuning them. Do you bend the eye , or shave the bill to tune them ?If the eye looks straight, I like to shave the side of the bill to tune it, they tend to run true more consistantly at different speeds. P N J

if you need to tune a rapala sent it back they are sapose to run straight right out of the pack i have never had to tune one until i caught a bunch of fish on them
