Leaving Rapalanation

[keesvanderlaak]

Hi Guys,

I've been absent for a while due to a very busy period in my life.
As I have mentioned before, I was going thru a rough patch when I was no longer sure of my love for Rapala.

And,. as I am having more and more succes o my handbuild lures I found myself ending up selling all my collectables and even starting to use different kinds of hardbaits, such as Abu Garcia Fat Head Killer, River 2 Sea Wideglide, Balzer Perch and even Salmo lures.
Besides that change in my tacklebox I have a lot of handbuild spinners and streamers.

This does not mean that I am completely of the Rapala's, I am keeping my favourite lures to fish with.
As it has to me, I can advise you guys to don't let it pass you by.

Hereby I want to thank all of you for a great period in my life and especialy to those who have been a great help obtaining lures I was whishing for.

Now it is time for me to close this chapter and move on to a new stage of my life. trying to make a bussines of my handbuild lures and trying to catch a new personal record.

Again thanks guys, and hang in there!

I will always remember the time that you took me fishing, and the delicious duvel and kroket that we had afterwards I wish you luck for the future, your business, and everything that you do.
