How long is this crank bait? Is this medium diving? Does it have BBs inside? Thanks!** A: The bait is about 3 inches long, including the bill and is medium diving. It does NOT have BBs inside. The #5 is small. The bigger the number shad rap, the bigger the size and the deeper the dive. **Q: is this lure good for steelhead?** A: I believe it would work for Steelhead. You may want to try something a bit heavier if you are fishing in heavy current. This lure is very light. **Q: do you have dive chart for shads** A: 6-8 feet **Q: Hi, Floats?Difference between this and shallow? Will jump off obstacles? Certainly dont want to get it stuck in rocks.** A: It floats and runs in shallow range. It will bump off rocks and things but not as well as a square bill. I Use this more in open water for trolling. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Walleye candy and more. *by A***R on December 31, 2024* I have almost a dozen of these shad raps in different colors - mostly for trolling walleyes, but this specific lure my wife and I made a cool shadow box gift for our wedding officiant. Not only a great lure, but a very cool decoration! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buy it. *by K***. on September 23, 2025* 3 fish so far! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome for bass! *by C***S on November 29, 2024* Really great bass lure! Action is great in the water. Even caught some trolling with it which I don’t normally do. I seemed to do better with a faster retrieve than a slow one but could just be the time of year. Super sharp hooks so I haven’t missed many fish! ## Frequently Bought Together - Rapala Shad Rap 05 Fishing Lures - Rapala Shad Rap 07 Fishing Lures - Rapala Shad Rap Lure, Size 05, 2" Length, 4'-9' Depth, 2 No 8 Treble Hooks, Demon, Per 1 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/26220833-shad-rap-05-fishing-lures](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/26220833-shad-rap-05-fishing-lures) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
