Extremely bite resistant!
Mard Reap baits are almost as durable as a hardbait, but with the characteristics of a softbait.
The ultra-durable rubber has tremendous cut and tear resistance.
The material of all Mard Reap Swimbaits is a special elastomer that is free of toxic plasticizers and PVC plastisol. It hardly slits through predator teeth and lasts dozens of times longer than conventional rubber fish material.
Despite this, we recommend using the baits only for "common" fishing use.
Environmentally friendly
Mard Reap baits are almost as durable as a hardbait, but with the characteristics of a softbait.
The materials are free from toxic plasticizers, phthalates, lead and PVC. Enormous durability and the materials used contribute to more environmental friendliness.
Our baits are completely produced in Austria. Short transport routes, as well as the production in Austria help to achieve a better CO2 balance.
Additional information
Bait storage info
Please read the information on bait storage!
All Mard Reap rubbers can be stored together. They do not stain each other.
Please do not store with rubber baits from other manufacturers!
The plasticizers that escape from the PVC rubber baits dissolve the Mard Reap elastomer plastic!
It is best to store the baits in the original blister packaging or in a crate/box that is large enough. The baits must not be stored bent, otherwise they will become permanently deformed.
We recommend a box without compartments or a large bait box with 4 or 2 compartments. A standard household storage box is also suitable.
A bucket or lure bucket is only suitable to a limited extent. If you store the bait in a hot environment, the plastic can break due to the weight hanging down. The rubber can withstand a lot, but the elastic properties become less in a hot environment. (Please do not store the multisection and twister models in the lurebucket.
Never store in a very hot environment. E.g.: black bait boxes in direct sunlight, storage in closed containers in a very hot car or boat (under the tarpaulin), etc. Improper storage can lead to deformation of the rubber.
We hope you enjoy the products and wish you all the best!

Mard Reap Hybrid Swimbaits
The appearance, the swimming behavior and the materials used make the Mard Reap Hybrid Swimbait a unique catching machine.
An exclusive predator lure designed primarily for trolling.
The 19 and 26 cm verison can also be used well for spin fishing.
Size | 19cm | 26cm | 34cm |
Weight | ~45g | ~110g | ~220g |
Speed | 3 - 5 km/h | 3 - 5 km/h | 3 - 5 km/h |
Diving depth | 3m (with 30m cord) | 5m (with 30 m cord) | 8m (with 30m cord) |
The Mard Reap Hybrid Swimbait is made of TPE and can be stored together with all Mard Reap products but please never in direct contact with rubbers of other manufacturers that are made of Plastisol PVC!
The color tone and glitter flakes may vary slightly from the picture. The rubber may occasionally have flow lines or small dents (sink marks) during production.
Only while stocks last.
If the bait is deformed by heat, you can try to bring it back into shape with heat. However, this should only be an absolute emergency solution.
WARNING!!! At your own risk - Work very carefully - Heat only the rubber, never the hard head.
Otherwise the air in the head will expand greatly and damage it!
Heat the rubber properly with a hot air blower or hot water!
Heating the rubber takes some time and of course depends on the bait size and thickness. It must be warmed through and through to at least 50 ºC. Then hang straight or quench in cold water.
If the head is detached from a hybrid swimbait, it can be easily glued back on with super glue. This works very well. Please use only a little glue.
If the bait feels sticky after the emergency surgery, a little powder helps 😉.
The Fella Deluxe Shads (are no longer produced.) have no diving vane and can be fished at almost any depth. By changing the speed as well as the line length, the running depth of the bait then also changes.
As a guideline, we can give the following.
Fella Deluxe Shad 23cm
Speed | Prefix 0.45 | Running depth |
3km/h | 30m | 4,8m |
3km/h | 15m | 3,5m |
3,5km/h | 30m | 4,3m |
3,5km/h | 15m | 3,3m |
Fella Deluxe Shad 18cm
Speed | Prefix 0.45 | Running depth |
3km/h | 30m | 3m |
3km/h | 15m | 2,6m |
3,5km/h | 30m | 2,8m |
3,5km/h | 15m | 2,3m |
