profisher25 Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 (edited) This is my collection of Rapala lures that i currently have. My lures are on the picture on the left. Left side: / Right side: Skitter Pop / DT Series Husky Jerk #9 / Fat Rap Husky Jerk #10 / Rattlin' Rap Husky Jerk #12 / Clackin' Rap 08 Minnow Rap Any suggestions on what else I should buy in terms of Rapala lures? Also, the lures on the right picture belong to my buddy "The Bass Fisher", he just wanted to get some feedback on his lures, and get any suggestions on new lures to buy.

MCTFisher9120 Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Nice man, but u need to get some X-Raps...that being said i don't have a massive collection either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassAsin Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 personally i think the taildancer is a good lure depending on what you chase and every colour of every size of the J series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassAsin Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Something in "Monkey Puke" would be nice. like the NK mag orange monkey puke is the GL rainbow colour of choice for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raf Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 try a j-9 or j-11. catches everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forrest Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 (edited) A lot depends on what/where you fish...but as far as Rapala goes I noticed a lack of silver minnow colors. The Rapala original floaters and jointed are good all around lures, along with Xraps they are probably a staple of most tackle kits. about $7.50-$8.50 each: http://www.rapala.com/products/luresdetail...eshorsalt=Fresh http://www.rapala.com/products/luresdetail...Both&live=1 forrest PS: is that a blue/black original floater in there?

Victor Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 hahahahaha I bet there will be 100 posts and 25 different answers! lol ... I'm tempted to start a thread to see what people has to say about "worst rapala out of all the models" ... it seems that they engineer great products and there isn't any that people dislike. personally i think you should get some original floaters as well.

OhioFisherman Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Also had some real good days with the original floater. anywhere from the 2 inch ones to 7 inch ones. They make a good lure that seems to work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jediangler Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Don't forget a big Super Shad for musky, pike, walleye & big bass. If I could only buy one, it would be the perch model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCTFisher9120 Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 I don't know if anyone has noticed but that is my collection on the far left. I have money and plans to be gettting a skitter pop,another x-rap slashbait,and a new lure called the x-rap shad shallow...then im goin for things such as the origional floater or husky jerk's... Thanks Profisher for putting up my pic, and hopefully i'll get some feedback aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radnine Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Has anyone noticed that Wall-mart has some of their Rapalas on for $7.00? On Rapalas, when it comes to fishing I am as lazy as a spotted dog, and love nothing more than trolling around dragging a Rapala. I have caught a boat load of fish on regular and jointed silver and black, and gold and black. I am starting to buy more deep divers just to try to get to different levels of the lakes. Love the Rapala! Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookinforwalleye Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 I don`t see any Mercer magic in the collection, no Rapala collection would be complete with out a little Mercer`s magic. Right Dave!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could only buy one, it would be the perch model. Im thinking about buying a Super Shad Rap, which pattern should I buy?? Im down to a few options.... either the #06 Shad, #17 Yellow Perch, or #41 Silver Shiner?? PM me if you can, that would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
