CRUSHING shallow-water walleye on a NEW bait!

Well that escalated quickly…. 😳 Was able to get my hands on the NEW (coming soon-ish) Rapala Jigging Shadow Rap and proceeded to have maybe the best afternoon walleye sesh I have EVER had in the Brainerd (MN) Lakes Area.

Drop a comment below and let me know what you think. 👊 Thx so much for watching!

I have been fishing jigging raps for 46 years and this new one also looks like a super winner. I even buy off brand wanna be's and they work as well but not as good as raps. I have caught perch, bluegills, crappie's, bass, walleye's, pike, white bass and white fish on raps.
My very first fish with them were ice fishing crappies, they were suspended 6 feet down in 14 feet of water. The fish locator at that time was my self laying on the ice and seeing them swim by. So yes i went to using them for perch fishing and you want to do a bang up job oh ya. Even to this day i will use jigging raps for perch fishing over live minnows. And yes you can feel the bite and like you have said in your 50+ tips slow and short strokes And that is ice fishing them. And you young man have earned a new subscriber!

that's awesome man! right on! Thanks for sharing!

[cowpunchin]

Can't wait, be sure and let us know when there out!

[waltercabral]

That's awesome, Thanks for sharing!

[nolangaul]

Really never deliberately fished a day for walleye, had some of these with me did similar technique while buddies trolled worm harnesses, I caught several without previous experience. This fits my hunt the fish personality

[HigherElevation]

Killer video man, looks like you had a really good time. I’m super excited for them to release. Well unless you all have an extra one I could try before. Haha worth a shot. Well keep up the good fishing 🎣

[Dw]

I hope they are available SOON. Can’t wait to fish it.

[larryd.collins]

Great lure. Tom Boley uses this technique. Very effective.

[Finnoutdoors]

I’ve been doing the same thing and I got 45 walleyes in one hour

I bought some of these last winter from a vendor in Europe. Love them....bigger profile less weight. From the info I found seems they are marketing them more so for open water. I got mine just after walleye ended last winter so I'm excited to try it the up coming hard water season. Just gotta make sure I save one. Lol

[DiabloOutdoors]

I just got the exact same one, thanks to the incredible team of Tri-Omf, the rep team of Rapala here. Now we'll see if the Canadian walleyes have the same "tastes" as the ones from USA ....

[vikingslayer]

Great video man! Ive used these ice fishing up here in Wisconsin and did some serious damage on the walleyes. Going to try them on the open water also! Thanks for sharing!

[regularsizeruss]

It's crazy that some people think those jigging rap style baits only work in 70degree + water. They are one of the top ice lures of all time! Just slow down.

[Grimey_Fishing]

What?! I can buy something in a store north of the 49th parallel and you can't? I'm sorry, Brett, but this makes me happy. So often I can't get something up here or I must pay a premium to get my hands on it. I was going to buy some just because there's no hook to cut off the nose for open water fishing, but now maybe I'll buy some and trade them for time on a boat in MI or WI. 😁

[Sota_adventures]

Ordered some at a primo price off eBay at the end of ice season. Haven’t been able to get them wet yet though.

Check out the Acme line of lures. Acme carries all the classics that have always worked. They are also in production and on shelves. Fisherman are funny with lures, this lure is completely repeatable and has been used for 15-20 years. This technique isn't new by any means, but the videos of Tom, Dick, and Harry finally catching on it are.

[DiabloOutdoors]

lol real funny and now I need that lure! Lunkerhunt has a few similar lures. One that is amazing is the " True bait". It is very heavy so awesome if you want to jig in a strong current.

[TravisInCanada]

70 degrees?
I use them for ice fishing!

[thomasvelazquez]

How does this lure fair in a river current like downstream from a dam where one would wade in to fish walleye? It's always nice to have one extra club in the bag for when it's nessesary.
