[jpkawalski]

Does anyone have a list of the colors the F-18 are made in?

[cdj711]

well. i dont have a list, but i got quite a few, so i guess as a start, listing of what i have would do.
unfortunately, my rapala lists are at home, so this has to wait for the weekend ...

thanks
john

ps go to my f-18 album

[cdj711]

well, not yet a list, but i will start with a question, when you say "colors the F18 are made in" you mean regularly available, or also rare specials, and prototypes?
i guess we are talking about both sides of the atlantic, so i am starting with what i think was NOT made:

SSH
RCL
SB
MD
B pearl
SG
OCW
CG
PH
PW
ALB
GALB

and here is the list starting with what i know has been made:
S
B
G
P
SFC
GFR
MN
FH
SH
V
CLN
BTR
RH
SSM
SMN
FMN
FT1
FT2
FT3
HT2
HT3
BSM
BLM
MU
SD
BMD
HS
PD
RFSM
RT
TR

6 or 7 bleeding colors, dont remember all the names

some i dont know:
FT4??
HT1??
RFSH??

wow, almost 40 total.

not a complete list for sure, but something for you others to add on, or confirm.

best,
w.

[jpkawalski]

Wow Great list!! Thanks a bunch....
You don't think it was made in muddler?

Huh? Wow, Ya..
has any one seen it in Muddler or Goby?

And on another note, where can I get the Brookie, BTR??

[Jason]

It was made in Black Muddler. But not the regular Muddler. At least not that I know of.

[cdj711]

well, i have nether seen MD either, but this does not mean it was not made, although if the guy from california tells us so, i guess it wasnt ...
well, the BTR was sold somewhere in eastern europe, lots of sites in russia are still listing it, but so far i had no luck with getting anything from there. however, i was lucky to find a shop here in germany which had 8 or 9 of these left. and this was the only shop i found so far with F18 BTR. all the F18 is discontinued for europe since 2008 or 09, some shops have some left, but it is getting harder to find any good colors.

one more thing.
i did not list the ones which i call "orange tiger" and "blue tiger" cause i dont have color codes for these. it seems these were only sold in FINLAND some time ago, never had any in box so far. you can see how these look in Jasons picture gallery.

Wolfgang,

Here is the F-18 BS. It is a special color. The picture is from my gallery, but I have not changed the description yet. I have 1 or 2 of these around here with the color code on the box. I will try to get a picture the the color code up here.

**** F-18 BS Special ****

[jmcfish10101973]

john

[cdj711]

Hi John.

why would these be called perch specials?

i call them blue tiger and orange tiger, anyway, these 2 are on my list already, whatever we call them. and i just realized that to call these tiger was not such a good idea, no tiger stripes at all ... LOL

i never had seen the BS before; well, one more to get ...
can we agree on CLN/RT for the last one?
i need!

best,
w.

hi wolfgang do you wish to list all the vintage ones also like

lipstick ones

and the

2 hook ones also

thanks
john

[cdj711]

Hi John.

well, i was thinking about that, for example i have 6 different G, and there are the RT with or without blue and things like that, but i guess the initial question was about what colors were available in a more general way; so i think it does not matter it the RT has a little more or less blue or if the G has a white or golden belly, or such ... and i did not put up my F18 GFR pearl, because i have only seen one of these so far, and i think it is not enough to put in a list of "colors the F18 are made in".

i was also thinking about the saltwater F18s, but with the 2 hook design these are so different to not put them on the list here. but its nice you mention it anyway.

i had put this question up at the start of this post, but it did not really get answered, so this is not my list, it is our list, and anybody having any more contribution is welcome to add. i just put all info posted so far together in one list for ease of reference.

many thanks for all contributions and happy hunting,
wolfgang

[walleye270]

Here are the pictures of the F-18 BS....Hopefully this clears things up

[jpkawalski]

It's an awesome list so far. A list that I could never have made on my own...I didn't know about a few of them, Thanks all.! It's great to see whats out there and where your at say!
And the CLN over lay, wow. And that BS is unique lookin!

[hanne87]

Hello Jonh,

Is it possible to take a look at your wonderful collection? Could you send a link? I tried open that, but it does`t open. Thank you in advanced!
