Default X-Rap Shad

I tried my new X-Rap Shad out today. I got bored of catching nothing after a couple hours so I started trying some of the lures I recently bought.

It had a nice action although The retrieve was way off to the right, but after a lot of messin with the line tie, I finally got it to run almost straight.

Overall a nice lure though. Anybody else have the same problem?

The X Rap is different from most Jerkbaits. It should go left right up or down much like a Senko. Fish2win

xrap shad is not a jerkbait in so much as you think f2w.. more a pausing crankbait..

I have not had that problem witht he X-Rap Shad, I have 7 or 8 of them and they all run true, a great bait that you can run down and pause and give it small twitches in place, that really aggravate the bass. Great Early Spring Lure...

Alright, I must have gotten a messed up one. I do love the action on them though.

F2W, yes it does suspend.

Thanks guys.

very nice action... I have 2, both ran true right out of the box. I love the way it backs up a little after giving it a few jerks.
