The Minnow Rap in Clown was in fleetfarms line up last year. You could walk in and buy one today for the normal minnow rap cost. Same with the SR-7 as I recall it was around last year. They seem to have only crome colors as their exclusives I dont know that the deal with that is.

I have not seen them on the web and I have not seen them in the store. I was told around march. I may get a chance to check sometime this week or next. I will post here when I see them and that they look like. I can try to take a photo at the store of the colors. It would have to be a great color for me to purchase them at current costs. They ran a sale on the custom colors a few weeks back and I picked up a a few more clown and a few of the Crome Perch.

well, stopped in fleet tonight and they had a few of the new exclusives, but only a few of each, and only in size 7. i would be suprised if they dont have 5's also, but like i said, there were only a few, and they were not with the other exclusives, so i dont know if they were supposed to be out yet, but in the next week or so i bet we will see ads for them and a full release. i didnt get real excited over them, as i know how fleet works, when they introduce them, they will have them on sale, and near the start of the season here, they will have all shad raps on sale, so i know i can get them on sale in the next few months, and i dont think there is any fear they will run out, as i can still buy any of there exclusives from the last 6 years. oh, and i suppose you would like to see this years lures too, right... oh i guess so  purple hot streak and hot pink clown, both chrome enjoy, and i think this is further proof that rapala has its eyes open and is finding ways to get high demand colors onto lures in the states, if the red clown color had not really taken off recently, im not sure we would have seen this hot pink clown lure. the purple hot streak kinda reminds me of the regal shad or helsinki shad, there running out of color patterns to chrome for fleet farm, the chrome perch was nice, and they have done several tiger versions too, so i think in a year or two we are going to see non chromed fleet exclusives, just based on the fact that they are going to be nearly repeating colors otherwise.

didnt notice it right away, but the yellow belly on the pink clown doesnt show up real well in the photo, but it has a very pronounced yellow belly.

yeah, getting these lures are no problem, like i said, but if you can wait a little bit, i think they will be on sale and might be able to save you a little and might have size 5 and 7 available.

Bacon is right these will go on sale soon. I have to say that Clown was a huge fish producer. I didnt really beleive color made a differance till I fished a clown. I have to say that Hot pick Rocks I like the idea of a Yellow belly. Walleye Killer.

Well I found them on their website today and here I was thinking I would break this story....then again since I dont live in Wisconsin I guess I never stood a chance LOL... Here are a couple of other images: Hot Pink Clown  Purple Hot Streak (which basically looks like Regal Shad to me)  Regardless, I would still like to try both. So far it looks like the Size 5s are selling faster. Jeff speaking of the past excsusives, can you get me size 7 Rusy Monkey and Chrome Tiger? Let me know.... Ted |

Ted,
There are at least 3 crome tigers Gold, Purple, and Red you may need to specify. I may be wrong but I have a several fleet farms near my house. So far I have only seen these new colors in #7 in the store no fives, which would be the post popular in our area.

yeah, i have yet to see any in size 5, but im guessing the fact that every fleet farm i have been in still has lures from the last several years that they have tried to cut back a little, and decided to only do 1 size this year. historically, if they only made one size they have always been 7's. and yes, i can still get the 45th anniversary (like OCW) the lambau field(packers), the blue shad, RCLN (red hooked clown), Chrome red tiger, chrome purple tiger, chrome perch, chrome gold tiger, rusty monkey, and these two new ones. once they hit the new sales bin i can pick some up for you, if you need some even sooner, i can do that too, but if you can wait a few weeks i think they will be on sale soon.

I think they are making these in size five. I see the website has them sold out in that size. I also think they still make that 20th aniversary lure dont you Bacon. Its been around a long time.

well, those anniversary lures, the SR-7 MANNI (Mills fleet farm Anniversary) were made for there 45th anni, last year was there 50th i think, so they have been around for 6 years or so. i dont think they are still making them, i just think they really made alot of them the first time, and are still putting them out as they run low, slowly. the one in point, nearest to me only had a couple left, at least the ones that were out anyway, but other stores still had alot. i dont know if these exclusives are just not selling as well as they hoped, or if they just had a whole crap load of them, or if this was there plan all along to have them for years and years after release. i know other exclusives, like scheels or gander mnt, were short lived. Gander always clearanced them out after a year, i saw some as low as $2 each once. scheels slowly seemed to get rid of them over about 3-4 years, dont find the GF much anymore at all, but bleaks can still be found i bet.
some of the other items can be the same way, the trophy dealers that had the h-13's a couple of years ago, some are sold out, a few still have some, when i was in them, i found that some still had other exclusives left also, but not much, makes me think they sell out or close to it in just a matter of a year or two. but fleet has lures for years.

I'm sure you know more about this then me. But they must have planned it because why would you keep doing it if they dont sell well unless you have long term contract. I know well all cry if they stop.
Bacon ever been to Rustys Backwater saloon? Best bloody Mary's!
