Rapala Ott Garage Slim 6' 1/2 2.75" Big Shad
The Rapala Ott Garage Slim 6' 1/2 2.75" Big Shad is a diving crankbait built to reach and hold the strike zone longer than standard crankbaits. This bait is engineered with premium balsa wood from the top seven percent of available stock, combined with precisely positioned internal weights and a tapered body profile that produces the signature side-to-side swimming action balsa cranks are known for. Whether you're working shallow structure or need to drive down to deeper feeding fish, this crankbait delivers consistent performance without sacrificing castability.
The Slim 6' 1/2 design uses an ultra-thin polycarbonate lip to dig down quickly to its preset depth, while the internally-weighted construction allows for a nose-down rest position that triggers immediate descent. This means more time in the productive zone with every cast, and the ability to cover water efficiently from your boat or shore. The thin tail and balanced profile keep resistance low, so you're not fighting rod load on the retrieve—just steady, natural action that tempts strikes. An internal baritone rattle adds sound signature to draw attention from bass and other gamefish.
Like all Rapala DT series crankbaits, the Ott Garage Slim Big Shad arrives hand-tuned and tank-tested, ready to fish straight from the box. The lure comes rigged with premium VMC black nickel hooks and finished in a proven Big Shad pattern with 3D holographic or painted eye details—paint jobs designed to match the forage your target fish actually hunt.
