Rapala Harvest Shad 2-3/4" 5/16 oz Lure

Rapala Harvest Shad 2-3/4" 5/16 oz Lure

The larger HVSD07 format of the Rapala Harvest Shad pushes the same tight, erratic wobble down to an 11' to 13' running depth — a zone that covers deep weed edges, submerged points, and suspended fish that the smaller model simply can't reach. The internal rattle produces low-frequency sound displacement at any retrieve speed, giving the lure a second trigger in stained or high-turbidity water common on Quebec rivers and post-rain lakes. Built on a durable plastic body and lip, it holds up through hard strikes and prolonged use without losing its tuning. Floating buoyancy allows a clean pause on pause-and-go retrieves without fouling on bottom structure. The Rapala Harvest Shad 2-3/4" 5/16 oz Lure is equipped with two VMC® Black Nickel Round Bend No. 6 hooks sized for the added body length and the heavier fish this profile attracts.

Key Features

Wounded-Minnow Action: Tight, high-frequency wobble at all retrieve speeds generates reaction strikes from both active and neutral fish holding at depth.
Internal Rattle: Produces acoustic displacement in low-visibility conditions, extending the lure's effective range beyond pure sight-trigger scenarios.
Floating on Pause: Rises cleanly on the pause, preventing bottom contact and letting you work the lure over structure without snagging.
VMC® Black Nickel Round Bend Hooks: Two size-matched No. 6 hooks deliver sharp, reliable hooksets and resist corrosion through seasons of freshwater use.
Cast or Troll: Action holds up equally on a cast-and-retrieve or behind a steady troll, adapting to conditions without retying.

Why Choose This Product?

The 11' to 13' running depth puts the HVSD07 in a stratum most cast-and-retrieve crankbaits don't reach without added weight — useful in late summer when walleye push deep on Quebec's main-lake structure, or when bass and pike are staging over submerged vegetation in 12' of water. The rattle gives it genuine fish-finding utility during trolling passes over uncharted bottom. For anglers covering water efficiently across multiple species without running multiple rod setups, the larger Harvest Shad format handles the deeper half of the water column without compromise.
