METALLIC PAINTING CUSTOM HD LIVE UV BRIGHT

Metallic finishes are used to imitate really shiny baitfish species and to create a lot of flash to catch the fish’s attention. Combined with paint and print patterns, chrome finishes can be used to create highly detailed baitfish imitations as well as bright and flashy attractor patterns.

Created in perfect detail, the advanced Custom HD finishes are the most life-like replicas of nature ever. The artisnal finishes are a mix of modern printing technology combined with classic Rapala foil finishes and deep knowledge on how to combine the best of both to create stunningly beautiful baitfish imitations.

It is widely understood that many fish species see into the UV spectrum, which aids in hunting prey. Some of our lures are coated with UV reflective particles which greatly enhance their visibility to predatory species. UV light is invisible to most humans, so you’ll just have to try a UV lure and experience the results first-hand.

Rapala Swimming Depths

The swimming depths for Rapala lures are listed as a range. The first number in the range is the running depth on cast & retrieve and the second number is the running depth when trolled. The swimming depths for casting are tested with Sufix 832 braided line in an appropriate diametre. The trolling depths are measured with 30 metres of 0.30-0.35mm monofilament line out depending on the lure size, at the speed of 3 knots.
