I was looking at them at Gander Mtn and picked a few up and will give them a try this coming season. I'll let you know what I experience with them. Not to many colors to chose from but I think the colors that are out are some good ones. What do you guys think?

Just bought 4 today , they look like a good bait and will give them a try this year . I think they are about the same as the suspending shad rap. john mannerino Posted 2/9/2004 4:29 AM (#12776 - in reply to #12762) Subject: RE: shad rap glass rap Member Posts: 1188 Location: Chicago IL.

Rich S Posted 2/9/2004 12:17 PM (#12806 - in reply to #12799) Subject: RE: shad rap glass rap Member Posts: 2300 Location: Berlin I think they look ok, my biggest beef with them and the suspendig raps is that they have the same lip as the risto's and not the original shad raps. Never understood that. The rs's are great for pounding bottom but suck for suspended fish in my opinion. Regular shad raps will out produce them 3 to 1 on almost any day. I would have thought that with the total failure of the Risto Rap they would have gone the safe route. Granted the bill is not the only thing to affect the action and I am sure that with the different body style it still would have a slightly different action even with the same bill as the shad rap. Now that I got that off my chest, one month and I am open water fishing.......I feel GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
