Well, I don't collect Rapalas but I do fish them. Went through the boxes with lures I use for fishing and here are all the Rapalas I use for fishing on a regular basis (I like to believe I use all of them at least once every year).
Rapala SSR-14
Using these for Pike fishing but occationally getting Zander and Perch on them as well. Colors are BG, SH, PCBG, FT, P, RH.
Rapala XJS-13
Great suspending Pike lure when you want/need to fish slowly. Colors are FT, B, HH.
Rapala Max Rap 17 and FR-16
Pike fishing lures I do not use a lot. The Max Rap color color code is FD and the Flat Rap is SPK.
Big Magnums
2 pcs Rapala FMAG-18 in RFSH and SM. Rapala CDMAG-18 in FT. Rapala CDMAG-14 in unknown color and on the left side a X-Rap Magnum 30 in D. Great Pike trolling lures.
Rapala H-13
Mainly used for Zander but also for Salmon. All but the RB is the Classic Collection edition. Colors SFC, RB, GFR, SFC, SD, CW.
Various
In FT, Down Deep Husky Jerk Jointed 12, Husky Jerk 12, Scatter Rap 11 and Minnow Rap 9. On the left side F-9 in G and Minnow Rap 11 in SFC. Zander only with thiese lures,, nothing beats FT when it comes to Zander.
Countdowns and Jointed Countdowns
Top to bottom: 2x CD-11 in GFR and SFC. Two CD-9 in a FRHF and HT and then a CD-7 in G. Three pcs CDJ-9 in B, GFR and SFC. Once again using mainly for Salmon and Zander.
Fat Raps
SFR-7 in SFC and GFR. FR-5 in SFC, GFR and CW. Gets a walleye with these every now and then.
Small Magnums
Barra Magnum in SFC. FMAG-7 in HT. 3 pcs CDMAG-7 in FT, CH and RH. Finally a CDMAG-8 in GFR. Great lures for Zander, especially like the CDMAG-7.
Shad Raps + various
SR-7 in RH, Special, FP, and P. On bottom a TDD-9 in BLT. Second row SSR-8 special, 2 pcs SSR-7 in SFC and FT (1st gen) and then two SSR-5 in FP and SH. In the bottom row a DT-03 in FT. On the side a SR-9 in SFC. Zander and Perch lures.
Various
Clacking Raps, X-raps and 1 pcs BX Minnow. I don't know exact names and color codes for these except the CLN colors. The BX I think is some kind of special, looks like i.e. HH over something. The X-rap Shad 6 CLN (correct name?) is a killer for Zander.
Various small Rapalas
Here we have a bunch of lures 7 cm or smaller mainly used for Trout but also Perch. Only regular lures, worth mentioning might be the CDJ-7 in RH and FT and the Team Eskos which I never learn the color codes on but the top one is at least a GFRY.
Top water lures
Nothing beats top water fishing for Pike. Here we have Skitter Pop in all(?) sizes 12 (SSBMU), 9 (not sure), 7 (Angry Birds Special) and 5 (GCH). Also a Skitter Prop on the right side.
