Rarest Fat Raps - RFR-5

[montiac1]

Rattlin' Fat Rap RFR-5
A mid-sized Fat Rap at 5 cm (2") and 3/8 oz. They have two No. 4 hooks and a running depth of around 3-5 ft. They were introduced in 1991 but have not been available for many years. I think the last year they were produced was 2000?

Candidates:
BSD - Blue Shad
CSD - Chartreuse Shad
OCW - Orange Crawdad (1st Generation--light orange)

Other than the OCW, I'm not sure the other two were available to the public. The ones I have seen don't have a complete hang tag or color code--usually just a plain, sealed box.

The Winner:
CSD - Chartreuse Shad. I have a BSD in a sealed box, so I'm going with CSD since I don't have one of those.

Thoughts???

I like that one a lot. I have several FR-5 (B, BCW, CW2, FCW, FT, RCW) in "SPECIAL" boxes, but nothing looks "special" about them to me. Maybe they just had some leftover special boxes to use or something. I think someone else speculated maybe they used the special boxes before a color was officially released.
