JUNKY RAPALA'S ANYBODY???

[elkassassin]

Don't happen often!

But Jr picked me up & we hit the Lake early this A.M.!

Loaned me one of his New Rapala's!

About 20 Casts!

Not a Fish to the Lure's name!

I swat the water to knock a little Moss off the Hooks & the RAPALA Flies apart!

The JUNK wood just Splinters!

Jr said He's had several of the Newer RAPALA's fall apart & lost some Nice Fish because the Damn Lure falls to pieces!

I took a close look & the Wood they are making them out of is JUNK wood!

At 8.00-12.00 a piece,I think they could do a little better!

Anybody know if they are built in China like a lot of other Crap is?

Maybe LRB could start supplying them with some Tamarack!

Bess, i have several hundred of the good ones, lots still in the box. at 8-$12., i'll sell you all you want?

I can't believe Rapala would sell junk, they have always been a reputable seller. I don't doubt you, just saying. The price of Rapalas has gotten outa hand and that too, i won't pay todays prices for.

I agree, but I think T-N-T is made in China too, probably get some duds now.

I'm the proud owner of a new ocean fishing Avet reel. Best reels on the market and made in the USA.
