Rapala lures are one of the most realistic looking lures you can buy. An ingenious fisherman created the first Rapala lures in the 1930s. After observing the habits of fish in the waters of Finland, he realized that big fish eat wounded little fish. He created a lure that wiggled and wobbled in the water and he started catching more and more fish. And to this very day all Rapala lures that are made are hand tuned and water tested to make absolutely certain that they swim in perfect harmony right out of the box. Actually, no lure holds more records for the biggest fish caught than Rapala lures. These lures are made of Balsa wood; Balsa trees are found primarily in Central and South America.
Rapala lures come in every size and shape imaginable and are very sturdy. Some styles are made to bounce off rocks, bump against the bottom of lakes and streams, and rip through thick weeds. Some styles will deliver an amazing distance in each cast. And some are actually designed with a sound chamber that transmits sound and vibration. Sound is known to heighten curiosity in fish; so any sound combined with a wiggle will sound like a dinner bell to a fish. Rapala lures are made to tempt and torment fish so that a fish will have a very hard time not taking the bait. Some of the lures come fitted with steel rust resistant hardware so they will keep and perform for a very long time in saltwater.
Rapala lures are great for ice fishing too. Rapala offers a lure that will swim in tantalizing circles directly in the middle of deep game fish. They also created a lure with a slow circle down action.
Rapala lures have recorded a world record for catching the biggest fish on every continent in the world except for Antarctica. It is hard to go wrong with Rapala lures!
