Don't you just HATE it when you lose a brand new lure just out of the box? What more if its the first few out there in the market? Darn it!
I had a rather fun time trying out the Xtreme Shallow Slashbait in the form of Rapala's X-Rap Shad Shallow. The X-Rap revolution did not stop since it was introduced back in 2005. From then onwards, plastic holographic lures are the mainstay each year with new products introduced.
Supposed to swim around the 3 feet range from the surface, it moves around like its slimmer X-Rap minnow cousins - aggressive darting action in a stouter body. Think of an X-Rap minnow adding a few pounds if you may.
I tested out this lure by twitching one afternoon - no need to cast far... the fish were around a piece of wooden structure. Just by twitching the rod tip every now and then nearby attracted some fish to hit. Sad to say, I lost this new baby to a nice fish that just took off with it and broke the 8lb braid like thread in a split second.
I kid you not... check out the video clip at the end ...

Hello! Another interesting items to ask you :) How do you capture video and lure at the same time? It is so to be able to capture on video catches and misses :) Thanks for sharing and waiting foryour reply! Thanks! Fresh
ReplyDeleteHello! Sometimes you have good buddies that fish alongside you to capture the moments. Or sometimes its the other way around where you capture moments when your buddy's fishing. That's the beauty of fishing with close friends :)
