I'm not sure when this lure was released or when it was discontinued but it was never made in a rattlin' version. I will try and get the info on when it was discontinued and when it was released -

Hello Eshepa
Welcome to the Rapala message board .

To my knowledge the lure was first released here in the USA in 1998 . And the production stoped in either 2001 or 2002 . But
rapanatic is right it was never made in a rattln version at least not that I have ever seen .

There are quite a few colors that have not been produced in the Rattlin' model and the Down Deep model. Here is a link to my site I've been putting together. It is mostly Fat Raps and every model line is on there. With the help from people on this forum it has become pretty close to listing all color codes in every model including the different lip colors. Here is the link-

There was one color silver made in the Down Deep and Rattlin' versions. It is called Silver Black. Here is a few pics of these lures which are on my site-

I'm missing the RFR-4 in Silver (black). Feel free to check this site out. It's not pretty but it is my first atempt at a web site. There is alot of information availble as far as models and colors go. If a picture link is not available on a certain model/size/color that means I don't have it yet. So if you would have any of these let me know. I'm trying to complete this line up. Feel free to ask any thing about Rapalas as that's how we learn. There are a few people on here that have alot of knowledge on these lures -
