RAPALA LURES
RAPALA LURES CHALLENGED BY NGC Sports NEW ELECTRONIC LURE
by Ken Liebeskind
Yalesville, Connecticut
When Lauri Rapala created the original Floater lure in 1936, he didn't envision it going down in history as the world's most popular lure. Made from cork and wrapped in tin foil it had the swimming action of a wounded baitfish, which was the best way to catch hungry gamefish, which are attracted to injured fish.
Today rapala lures remain best sellers with the Original Floating Rapala available in sizes ranging from 1 1/2" to 7" in colors from silver to purpledescent.
There are many different rapala lures for different fishing conditions, including the Skitter Pop and Jigging Rap for shallow water; the Husky Jerk and Shad Rap for medium water; and the Down Deep Husky Jerk and Deep Tail Dancer for deep water.

Bass fishing will never be the same with the Bite Light fishing lure.

....One angler said he uses Shad Rap rapala lures for casting and trolling and they're ideal for varying the speed of retrieval. Other anglers use rapala lures to catch white and striped bass, walleye and perch and they also use rapala lures for ice fishing.
Over 20 million rapala lures are sold each year around the world, but they have stiff completion from NGC Sports, the company renowned for its scientifically designed lures. The Bite Light, an electronic lure that blinks blood red to mimic an injured prey, is the lure that updates the Rapala Floater that was originally designed to resemble a wounded baitfish.
NGC's Bite Light works so well it's been banned in Wyoming, but feel free to use it anywhere else if you want to catch hungry game fish. Three anglers set a record on a Mexican lake when they caught 650 largemouth bass in a 25 hour period - one fish every seven minutes for each one. Rapala lures have set a variety of fishing records but none match this one. Three Florida anglers used the Bite Light to catch three times as many fish as the other lures they were using, including Rapalas and other favorites.
