no, there is nothing special from one lure to the other. you have to remember, rapala was making millions of lures a year, each are hand painted, dozens at a time mind you, but still by hand. from year to year, batch to batch, painter to painter there are going to be some variance, its just the way it is. keep looking and you will find this sort of thing all the time. especially in the older finland and ireland lures. i have perch with strips that touch at the bottom, and ones that the stripes were barely visible on the gold sides, i could go on, but there is nothing remotely special about either lure other then they are nice older finland fat raps. maybe some really anal guys, and a few pros will look for certain things like these little differnces to make a difference in there catch rate, but i have seen bass pros trim 1/4 inch from the skirt of a spinnerbait in the belief that it will make a difference, who knows if it does or not. but either way, its not really important. bacon HI ALL JUST FOUND THESE 2 VERY DIFF.
