crawdad husky jerk

[Tom]

Some guy told me on youtube that my husky jerk was quite rare because rapala have discontinued them in crawdad pattern, i bought mine a few years back, and the colours on the box had been bleached by the sun, so i think it had been sitting there for quite a while. Does anyone know if these have been discontinued, and if so, can someone tell me how much it is worth.
Thanks, Tom

Hey Tom,

I believe the CW pattern has been discontinued. I'm not sure though. You can still see it on the Rapala Japan page so I'm not sure if it is available there or not.

As far as value goes, I have seen them go for around $20 each but not for a long time. It seems right now you might be able to get $10-$12 for it, maybe a little less. Hopefully someone else can speak up and either verify what I said or correct me if I am wrong. Hopefully this helps a little.

yep, the cw has been gone for a while, i thought it was going to be a fleet farm exclusive this year, since they used a file photo that included the cw pattern, in the early sales fliers this spring, but as of yet, i have not seen them, so im guessing that was a goof. i have not seen many of these around anymore, except on ebay. and yeah, $8-$20 depending on the day, but latly they have been in that $10 area.
good luck

i paid about 10-15 euros for it, and that was a while back
i didnt realise it was discontinued until someone told me that my lure was quite rare, i just bought it cos it looked nice, and i wanted a suspender (it sinks real slow but i think its due to my wire trace, it is illegal not to use wire traces here while after pike and zander, and a perch aint ever gonna grab that, although i did have a perch on a whole lamprey deadbait!)

you can see the picture in my new topic, i think there might be a couple of other rare ones too, like my magnums, i got a feeling my risto rap might be rare too, they are all old lures
have a look and tell me what you think.
