Have I really been in a cave for that long?
I literally just stumbled across this, please feel free to throw rocks and rotten fruit at me if this is already 'old news'
I have never seen these anywhere, it looks like just a Rapala CA thing - but maybe the US is following suit (see the DT colors I found in the Dives-TO section)

Rapala has really hit the nail on the head with the introduction of their new Live Lure Series. Fish have sharp eye sight and scrutinize lures before deciding to hit them. The realistic finishes on these lures are amazing and fool even the most finicky fish into hitting them.
For Walleye I especially like using the Live Perch and Live Sunfish crankbaits and working it over shallow shoals or along deep weedlines. A steady retrieve with the odd pause is all it takes to fool fish to eat these awesome lures. For Smallmouth Bass, the Live Smelt and Live Sucker jerkbaits are lethal and solicit hard strikes from bass. On the retrieve a quick 'Twitch Twitch' and pause drives the Bass crazy and results in bone crushing hits!
Grab yourself a selection of Live Lure Series baits and discover Rapala's new secret weapon and start catching more fish!
