The Rapala and Storm Overlap

[nathanha]

As we all know Rapala and Storm are owned by the same folks. Well when I was up at Cabelas last night I saw some of the new Shadrap colors the UV ones. I dont like them for the simple fact that I always associate those colors with Storm they started doing those colors a few years ago. I have noticed also that the Storm line up is adding a number of items similar to Rapala that were never a part of the orginal storm line up. Like the smash shad and the lipless rattlin thin fin.

Is anyone alse annoyed by the blurring of the lines between Storm's and Rapala's product line?

Side note does anyone think the smash shad could be a reaction to the flicker shad berkley has had great sucess with?

I agree with you. I just wish that storm would bring back the original baby thunder stick. I also thin that the smash shad is to compete with the flicker shad. New Shad Rap uv colors suck.

Yes it the uv colors that I dislike. They just look cheap.
