It Really Is All About the Pause…

    After the early morning trolling bite died off we decided to try out the new Rapala Shadow Raps by chasing smallies… On my second ever cast with a Shadow Rap I put this healthy 19″ butterball in the boat, but that’s only half the story.

    After casting out I realized that when I had hit the anchor feature to position us just off the tip of a rock hump my Terrova had spun completely around wrapping the cord. Without so much as touching the handle on my reel I grabbed the Terrova remote and started unwinding the cord. Luckily I still had a good hold on my fishing rod because after about 10-15 seconds of the Shadow rap slowly sinking I almost had it ripped out of my hands… Even an admittedly walleye focused fisherman like myself can’t screw that up!

    odd, my terrova automatically unwraps the cord! Awesome fish though!

    I most likely caused the wrap manually when I positioned the boat before I hit the anchor.

    That’s a great way to break a Shadow Rap!

    I know a few people that cant fish and talk at the same time, that lure is going to be perfect.
