Fat Raps-Shallow Fat Raps-Finishes-Help

[rapanatic]

I would like to be set straight on the FR and SFR colors/finishes.

First off there were 2 different perch colors made - the old gold dull finish (looks more like real gold) was the earliest and the one with the glossy finish is the newer version I believe due to the lures I have NIB.

I think that this holds true for the Gold Flourescent Red lures also.

The Silver Flourescent Chartruese models had the dull finish on the older versions and the glossy on the new correct???

Is this info correct for all FR and SFR models???

If someone can set this straight for me I would appreciate it

I believe on the fat raps you also have different lip styles as well.

Rapanatic, you are wright about the two Perch and also the SFC & GFR in the SFR Rapala color were S-G-2P-CW-FT-SD-Blue @2fc & 2 GFR for a total of 12 Colors in both SFR-7 & SFR-5's. The same goes for the Fat Rats, but there were two Shad also one with red under the lip and one with full orange-red belly. I have not found the SFR with the full orange belly and do not know if any were made. The Fat Rap colors in both FR-7 & FR-5 are S-G-2P-CW-2 FT-2 GFR-2 SFC-2 SD-B-SB-CLN-SG-New Silver Blue with Red Gills-New CW-BCW-PCW-FCW for a total of 22.

What about HT, BB, PW, RCW and 2 versions of SD in SFR.

Good question as I have not seen any of those colors in the size 5 except Shad. I gotta think they made those if they did in the 7. Isn't there someone on this forum that sells those tough to get colors on Ebay once in a while?

Jeff & rapanatic; I am sure the HT,BB,RCW, PW were Japanise lure and only came in size 7, have never seen a SFR-5 in these lures on ebay. I thing the Shad in size 7 & 5 are also Japanise. I have only seen one SFR-7-WP on the ebay. I am sure Baconsbaits sold it to Molles28 for $58.00. Baconsbaits did have some the hard to get lures from Japan.
