well, my experience with stockholm area shops is also 10+ years old. i think to remember that berras did not have that many rapala, although we bought lots of RMST-8 BK there for fishing sea trout at night. i remember they had a real big selection of BOMBER lures. this was the shop in the north of stockholm. the one more in the center did not have many rapala.
i remember one old shop which had tackle outdated for many years and if it still existed, i think it could be a gold mine for old rapala.
at this time i didnt know much about all this collecting thing and did not buy a single rapala there; it was very similar to a shop here in germany where the onwer refused to do postal orders, only sale was in the shop; i guess you can imagine why he had so many of the real nice old ones left (like jan eggers sets and single lures, 6x MFR-3 B, lots of old CDJ and TE-7 and so on).
if you are looking for new european models and colors, the new shops may be nice, but i would try to find the older ones; these usually have some old stock left, and i remember one in Karlshamn which had at least 10x CDSR-8 BRO, and another one with two big bsakets of RH rapala at 50% discount, only at this time my wife was with me and see started to roll her eyes when i hit the 300 EURO mark on this old stuff in the baskets ...
i think it should be possible to find some H13 in sweden.
and please note, rapala are expensive in europe, and sweden is even more expensive compared to european standard, but you can usually find some offers on rapala, lots of shops do for example 3 for price of 2 with magnum or SSR-14, or 50% on discontinued models.
SALE is called REA in swedish!
when you are in denmark, look out for the new edition of CDJ in color PKS!
best,

and here is the yellow pages foir stockholm fishing tackle shops:
gulasidorna.eniro.se/kategori/fiskeredskap:r1000125/stockholmCarlssons is the shop with all the old stuff; so it seems it still does exist - if you get a chance, give it a try, but maybe its best to call before you go, just ask if they have rapala ...
