Can anyone give me more info on this lure please??
« on: Jul 05, 2015, 07:23 AM »


It says Floating Rapala but i can't find the pattern listed on their website.

I caught my biggest rainbow ever from a tiny lake i fish on it ... then a bigger one an hour later  ;D  ....  i would like to buy a couple more.

Any idea what pattern it is?

I just looked thru all my old BPS catalogs, can't find it. They change shapes and sizes all the time, and even discontinue good ones for some reason. If I were to take a guess, it looks like a rainbow smelt pattern maybe?? I think they just call it smelt now, really close but not exact pattern.

fat head minnow, not made right now. some time in the future it may turn up as a new color, rapala likes to do that sometimes ;D this is the sinking version, it shows the colr better than other pics i found

I think it is the holographic design.  Not sure if Rapala still makes them but they had for a while.  They made them in blue, green, and black back, maybe others also.

Sometimes the best fish catching pattern is the discontinued pattern.
