I couldn't believe what I saw when I walked into this little tackle shop. Shallow fattys in great colors, brand new in the box. Simply amazing, I asked him how he got all these lures and he just said he bought them dirt cheap off the wife of a fisherman who had recently died. He liked to collect lures and keep them in the box, R.I.P. my friend and I thank you.  Attachments:

The bottom lure is a SFR 7 in Silver Flourescent Chartruese. It is obviously brand new, but it was hanging on the rack inside a SFR 5 Perch box, I don't know why. But I would sure like to have the SFR 5 in Perch though!! LOL

I don't know, I don't plan on being much of a "keep it in the box" type collector. I'm more of a "buy every color they have and put it in the tackle box" type collector. I guess I'm just gonna sell them to have money to buy more Rapalas.

I went back today and found another old fat rap box that looks exactly like all the other ones... I'm assuming that's the box for the SFR 7 SFC.
I went back there hoping to find the SFR 5 Perch but no look, hey crankbaitjon, that place is not really a tackle store it's just like a shop that is selling off an old man's lures.... I don't even know if the owner will ever have a rapala account, right now he just has used lures and used bows.

John, I figured you allready knew how bad I have the Rapala bug! haha. Yeah, I've got it bad. I spent another 100 dollars today on Shad Raps, Risto Raps, and Floaters. Found some cool lures at a different tackle shop. John, if you don't mind, can you take a look at a few lures for me. I need some more advice if you have a minute. I'm gonna post the pictures in the "Image Gallery" and post some pictures in the "original floater" thread.

how much were they? I search all the old sport shops i find around here but the only good ones I have found is a shop that sells risto raps in a lot of colors and I found two mini fat raps in old crawdad at one but thats pretty much it

I got them for 4 bucks a piece, the owner didn't know what he had. He also had like 15 Holographic Husky Jerks there and I got most of them. This particular shop is about 60 miles away from my house, and he's only been open for like two weeks and those things might have been gone in 3 or 4 weeks... I got lucky. I guess it's all about having the will and time to travel.
90 collector, can you get any Risto Raps in the #5 size? Let me know if you can I would be happy to send you cash or other rare lures for the Ristos.
