    Risto raps

    Are these cold water baits like shad raps? tight wiggle? Also what are diving depths for size #4,5 and 7? Thanks

    They suck! How much do you want for them?

    For real, I really like them in colder water. Seem to be a cross between a regular crankbait and a shad rap. I caught some good fish on it this weekend in water with a surface temp of around 46 degrees.

    They weren't very popular new but have developed a following like most discontinued baits.

    I use it alot in colder water from NOV-early April it is real similar to a shad rap just a taller body most guys modify the bait to give it the extra punch.

    Do you know how deep the RR5 will run? Does that stand for 5 feet?

    What modifications do people do to them? Shave them down some?
