Rapala Harvest Shad 2" 3/16 oz Lure

Rapala Harvest Shad 2" 3/16 oz Lure

The Rapala Harvest Shad brings the tight, erratic action of a wounded minnow in a durable plastic build designed for repeated use on Quebec's lakes and rivers. The internal rattle system generates noise displacement at all retrieve speeds, drawing attention in stained water and murky river conditions where visual cues alone fall short. It runs at 8' to 10' on a steady retrieve — a productive zone for walleye and bass holding over mid-depth flats, rock piles, and post-spawn structures throughout the summer. Floating buoyancy means it pauses cleanly over cover without fouling on bottom debris. The Rapala Harvest Shad 2" 3/16 oz Lure is rigged with two VMC® Black Nickel Round Bend No. 8 hooks that hold up through multiple fish without losing sharpness.

Key Features

Wounded-Minnow Action: Tight, erratic wobble at all retrieve speeds triggers reaction strikes from both active and neutral fish.
Internal Rattle: Acoustic displacement adds a second trigger in low-visibility conditions where visual cues alone don't reach.
Floating on Pause: Rises naturally when the retrieve stops, keeping the lure in the strike zone over structure without snagging.
VMC® Black Nickel Hooks: Two round-bend hooks stay sharp through extended use and resist corrosion in freshwater environments.
Cast or Troll: Action performs equally on a cast-and-retrieve or behind a slow troll, giving you flexibility depending on conditions.

Why Choose This Product?

The 8' to 10' running depth on the HVSD05 sits right in the productive zone for walleye and bass on Quebec's mid-depth structure — deep enough to reach fish holding off points and humps, shallow enough to stay clear of bottom in most trolling scenarios. The rattle gives it a fish-finding advantage early in the season when water visibility is reduced by snowmelt. For anglers who want one lure that works across species without specialized tackle, the Harvest Shad covers a lot of water efficiently.
