[qbert]

hey jason this is josh. just let me say WOW!!! Your collection is ridiculous!! I especially love your skitter pop collection. ever run into that sgfr sp07 again let me know cause i am dying to get my hands on that thing!!! I haven't seen quite a few things that you have and now have a better perspective on what a REAL rapala collection looks like!!! Keep them coming, and happy collecting. Hope to have a comparable collection one day!!! Impressive, very impressive!!!!!!

[Jason]

Thanks for the cool complement Josh . I try my best to keep adding new things all the time . It's real nice to see others enjoy it as well

Hang tight . Some more nice stuff to come in the next week and coming weeks .

Just some thing I recently found out . If you become a fan of my photo album , it will automaticly let you no when ever I add any new stuff to the collection . Thought that was pretty cool .

[Jason]

Thought Id put a few in before I head to work .
And maybe a few when I return .

[Jason]

Few more .

thats cool something a bit fishy about it though

[muskiehunter]

Jason,

Could you post a close up pic of that fish skin proto

That thing looks pretty neat,also who made that


Steve

[Jason]

Hi Steve .
I put a picture of both sides in my CD photo album . And those other floaters are in as well .

The CD was made by Risto Rapala . Im trying now , to find out the estimated date it was made . And also trying to see if I can put a date to some of these others . Ive just guessed for now . Id say that small silver and black one is from the late 40's or maybe older . The bill is even hand carved LOL

Real fish skin on a Rapala.That is one of the wildest things I have ever heard of and seen for a fishing lure.

More to come this afternoon . My first rain day off work so far this year

[Jason]

Had 4 of these Husky 13's custom painted for me in Finland . Trying to figure out a good way to display them . Any one have any thoughts .

Picture is a little weird . I was playing with some lighting .

[Jason]

Was getting a bit worried . But they arrived today . One casualty in shipping . Not bad I guess for how old some of them are .

[fishfingers007]

well if there are no boxes i guess you could pin them on a nice board or on felt , put them under glass like a picture frame, thats what i did with my boards and look great, glass not on this one here ,pictures dont give them credit though.

Nope .. No box's these were blank H 13's that have never seen the inside of a box except on there way over here LOL .. I was thinking some thing just like that . Maybe even finding Gold hooks to put on them .
