I receive the new Cabela's tackle catalog last night. I noticed they had a new Eurorapala crank. Has anyone ever used these. How do they run and how deep? Weird lip!

This are Rapala Baits that have never been offered in the US until now. The Countdown Euro Shad Rap has the same shallow diving bill that the standard Shallow Shad Rap (SSR)has, and the size 5 dives about 3 1/2'when cast. Both the size 7 and 9 dive about 4 1/2' when cast. These baits sink at 1' per second. We trolled them last summer behind fire line, with and without snap weights, as well as lead core line. The action is identical to a standard shad rap.
Cast it out, let it sink to the desired depth, and fish it back to the boat.
