Found some oldies & not so old but good

[omigosh]

Went out exploring today looking for tackle shops that I had never visited. Found a good one! I came home with several items for my tackle collection and for the Rapala collection. This shop still had some risto raps on the shelf. Not any more. It had several Husky Jerks in clown that were silver plated. I got a couple. Also got HJ's in CW & OCW. Got some limited edition taildancers and a Super Shad Rap in Hot Tiger. Got 5 Magnum 26's in different colors! Ran out of time & had to head home, but I will return. This place had quite a large inventory of Rapalas.

hello eysun.

first of all, welcome aboard.

second, please use the trade section to post search announcements, and please post only once.
by now i guess all the world but me knows what you are looking for.

so i got this question:
is it CD in stainless steel you are looking for (cd ss), or is it the old SS pattern, now called SSH or SSH2?
if so, and if you want to use for fishing, i would suggest to have some painted.
we have here a guy who is very good at painting the good-old-SSH.
you can see one example in the post: My Esko Collection started by turttle in the pic of mrkef.

hi,

yes, in my collection is one item painted. I got it from my friend. I asked him to paint me more because I use it for fishing. He knows perfectly expressing the old, original color SS.

well,
as i said, if you want to use for fishing and you have a favorite rapala which did not come in old SSH color or which is prohibitively expensive and/or very hard to find, it is only logical to have some painted.
i got F18 and CDJ-7/9/11 painted in old SSH.
TE7 seems to be a good idea, as well as H13; i think i should have some of these painted.
