Tackle Week 2022: The best new lures for trout, bass, walleye, pike, muskie and panfish

Best Vertical Lure

JIGGING SHADOW RAP

Many lures resemble shad, a top U.S. forage fish that’s short and stubby. Here in Canada, however, the main baitfish for walleye, bass, trout and pike are long, slender ciscoes, shiners and smelts. Enter the 3½-inch Jigging Shadow Rap, which perfectly matches the Canadian menu with its lengthy profile and six metallic finishes. And at more than a half-ounce, it will quickly get down to the fish.
