Lauri Rapala 1905 - 1974


Rapala Facts ®

You don’t start off with “Becoming a Legend” as your goal. Lauri Rapala certainly didn’t. All he wanted to do was put dinner on the table for his family the easiest way possible. A piece of bark, a carving knife, old gum wrappers and some ingenuity set the wheels in motion. 80+ years later those wheels are well down the highway with a pile of “Legendary” in tow. There are the stories we all know. Then there are the “Facts” that keep Rapala® the brand anglers the world over have come to count on.

1936 a.d.

As Lauri rowed across Lake Päijänne in Finland, tending his nets, he watched as large predators burst through schools of baitfish to devour a weakened “wounded” minnow. The secret is discovered.

100,000

To ensure every lure swims just like the first ones every Rapala with a swimming lip, yes every one, is hand-tuned and tank-tested for perfection right-out-of-the-box.

Balsa

The first lures Lauri built were cedar bark. Before long balsa became the wood of choice. It made the lure more buoyant and added action to the presentation. For decades Rapala has been the largest consumer of premium sustainable balsa in the world.

Rapala once again took top spot in 2016 for World Records with 14 IGFA accredited awards. The total World Records caught on Rapala lures is now 510, creating another milestone... the “World Record for World Records.”

To meet the demand worldwide for the world’s favorite lures, the Rapala factory teams produce 100,000 lures every day of the week. Original Floating to the BX Brat, they keep ’em coming.

36/140

Offices in 36 countries provide Rapala and Respected Brands products to 140 countries across the globe. Anglers in the United States use about half of annual production for both sport and subsistence fishing. Top to bottom, there’s a Rapala for everyone.

Meet The Family

The Rapala Family Tree has roots that go deep into the history of modern fishing, while it’s branches spread wide, arching over the fishing world.

BX® Brat Scatter Rap® Glass Shad

BX® (balsa xtreme)

Scatter Rap®

Balsa on the inside, encased inside a durable copolymer shell for an unbeatable toughness. New for 2018 is the BX® Brat, a tough little fish-catching square bill that seems to get itself in all kinds of trouble. PAGES 7-14

Rapala body shapes with our Scatter Lip perfectly mimic a spooked baitfish, creating the most evasive, erratic, aggressive sweeping action ever. Adding to the family is the New for 2018 Scatter Rap® Glass Shad. PAGES 15-26

Magnum®/Sliver®

Skitter Series

DT® (Dives-To)

Few baits have seen as much action. In the lineup since 1969 & ’85 respectively, both can be trolled from slow to fast without kicking out, broaching or rolling. Many IGFA records have been caught on these. Husky Magnum keeps the tradition. PAGES 49-50

There’s nothing like a topwater strike in fishing. The energy and excitement can’t be beat. The Skitter Series features topwater baits that awaken attack instincts in both fresh and saltwater species. PAGES 51-54

Custom built to dive to a specific depth fast, and then stay there the DT® lures have become a staple among tournament anglers who depend on them to keep them in the money time after time. PAGES 55-58

The Originals

Fat Rap®

HuskyJerk®

This is where it all started. The Original Floating lure is still a top seller after 80 years. The CountDown and Jointed and the modern originals, Flat Rap and Minnow Rap, are creating their own legends daily. PAGES 73-77

When it comes to catching finicky fish, the Fat Rap gets it done. Introduced in 1977, it is one of the original crankbaits in the market. It’s dwarfed cousin is unmatchable for trout, panfish and bass alike. PAGE 78

Cast or trolled, these perfectly balanced lures work at any speed. With the original and the Down Deep models you can cover the full water column reaching depths of up to 20 feet, even on a cast/retrieve. PAGES 79-82

Shadow Rap® Shad

Shadow Rap®

Shadow Rap®

Shadow Rap®Shad

The most dangerous moves in fishing. Just like a minnow in trouble, these lures struggle, lunge in jerking motions, then fall slowly with a quivering fade. Very dangerous. PAGES 27-28

Perfectly mimicking a shad in trouble, big fish can’t resist the tantalizing “slow-rise” action. Fish it finesse in the morning, then ramp up the action matching their mood as the day progresses. PAGES 29-30

X-Rap®

FRESHWATER/SALTWATER

Revolutionizing jerkbaits, the X-Rap Series has become famous for both its Slashbait® action and the finish. The new Coastal baits are now becoming synonymous with salty water and big fish. PAGES 31-48

Shad Rap® Rippin’ Rap®

Rattlin’ Rapala®

Shad Dancer®

Lipless Series

Shad Dancer®

Shad Rap®

The Rattlin’ Rapala and the Rippin’ Rap can be fished in an unlimited number of ways. A straight retrieve, a hop retrieve, a lift and drop style...even vertical presentations. They do whatever it takes to catch ’em. PAGES 55-60

New last year, this silent, aggressive balsa bait features a hard-thumping, sweeping tail action akin to our Tail Dancer. Anglers report the deep diving shad profile is nothing short of fantastic to trigger bites. PAGES 61-62

A perfect imitation of the most prolific baitfish found just about everywhere. With seven body styles and a ton of color and sizes options the Shad Rap is used by novice and tournament pros alike with awesome results. PAGES 63-72

Jigging

The pronounced “wide-tail” action of this banana style lure combined with its classic Rapala action has proven to be lethal. Working from 6 ft. down to 30 feet its benefits become apparent on the first pass. PAGES 83-84

“Great things come in small packages.” Whoever said that must have fished Rapala® Ultra Lights. Small in size with big action that attracts all species, from panfish to smallies, trout to trophies. PAGES 85-88

Immigrating from the Scandinavian countries, vertical jigging through the ice was where these lures were born. Today’s modern anglers have discovered the phenomenal fishing taking action when cast and retrieved. PAGES 89-94

Rapala Fact: The Finns pronounce it Rap-a-la. In parts of the US they say “Ra-paula”. No matter your pronunciation, it translates to “the angler’s choice for catching more fish.”

X-Rap

The Second Revolution In the not too distant past, there was a time without X-Raps. No #10. No Slashbait速 action. Then it happened. The introduction of the original X-Rap速. And soon after a family of choices spawned by demand. The same way the Original Floating速 had a profound influence on techniques and style of fishing, the X-Rap revolutionized jerkbaits, and today influences the way anglers catch fish around the world, with success in both fresh and saltwater fisheries.

Original Floating

®

The “Original Finnish Minnow” is still the number one “go-to” lure. Whether twitched on the top as a surface bait, retrieved as a shallow runner, weighted with a split shot for medium depths or bottom walked off a three-way swivel or bottom-bouncer, the wounded minnow action continues to be irresistible to gamefish.
