When you actually use it, it’s hard to believe how it works because it’s so simple,” he said, adding it dives to 10- to 14-feet deep. The “potato chip lip” is all about influencing the crank bait’s “tracking” path on the retrieve. When designing innovative artificial lures, Fisher said, he and others continually “push the envelope.” We ran it through a lot of key guys (pro staffers and others) off and on through the development. We’re very thorough, let me put it that way. The Scatter Rap Glass Shad gives anglers a rattling and suspending crankbait with a durable, see-through body featuring a special plastic lip that gives it evasive, erratic action with a distinct wobble - like a spooked baitfish fleeing attack. Rapala’s chief lure designer, a 17-year veteran with the artificial lure manufacturer known worldwide for decades, talked about it a few days before the start of the 2018 Bassmaster Classic. Mark Fisher of Molthen, Minnesota, the man behind its design, said he is proud of the unpredictable action in the Scatter Rap Glass Shad. Bass, walleye, pike and other species fall for the new crankbait.
