My CD7 Collection

Nicely done!

I modified your album URL, it wasn't showing up right, but I think it's ok now.
So how many total in your collection so far ?

[fishfingers007]

all different, will add on as things go on, getting hard to find ones i dont have ,thanks fishooked

[Jason]

Impresive ... There are a couple colors in there that I hadnt seen yet . Very nice ..

[muskiehunter]

Great collection Mark

[fishfingers007]

Thanks guys, a couple i have never seen since , but then Jason has a few ive never seen,
keeps the hunt on, better than watching tv.

Nice collection and line up you have. I never knew Rapala made the CD5 in Mullet. I see you also have the old colour Green. When did Rapala stop making the F, CD, J, SR, and SSR in that old colour?

[fishfingers007]

i have added a load of new lures to the album, in my wait to find countdowns i decided to try and collect all the models types made by rapala, some are thanks to jason or i would be still looking, but i still have a way to go

[muskiehunter]

The picture with all the CD-7's together did you make that display thing? Looks pretty slick if I do say so myself.

That is neat.My I ask how you have the lures themselves attached to the box?

I showed this to my wife and told her I was going to do something like this and she 'said " I don't think so thats not going on my walls"

I 'll have to work on that issue

Looking foward to your other pics

[fishfingers007]

steve i had the same , but once she seen them and looked nice i am ok but must be on the landing wall upstairs , the countdowns are one on top of the other but the model collection was put together as i collected , one compartment at a time, no glue, tape or anything touches the box , all mint , when i do the photo you will see, then the front is plastic not glass, i have to much time in the evenings while my wife works so i keep busy

[muskiehunter]

I just don't understand why women don't want Rapala's on their walls

They look better then stuff my wife has on the walls

[bacon]

i would say my wife is ok with it, since she did hang up the pike rapala print in our living room, however she is making me put of the rest of my stuff in the basement, all i need now is to finish putting up the walls so i can start hanging everything. ahhh another winter project.

steve i have added a couple of photo's for you but hard to take good pics , but you can see how i put it together just ply wood , tacks and stain ,i also added the names when introduced etc, hope this helps,like bacon ive got to decorate and when its done all my stuff will go on the one wall then i will post you a pic,

[fishfingers007]

two new additions, japan special red with no scales, and green and gold, any one seen these before?

[muskiehunter]

Thanks Mark!!!!

That set up is neat.I may have to start building something like that this winter

[Fishooked]

I used to have some pretty cool fishing stuff hanging around down here

But I can't complain, it has since been reborn into my Jets room. Either way, both illnesses...

[fishfingers007]

i said i would get them on the wall ,

my countdown cd7 , at 147 now, AND A FEW SILVER PLATED


my model type is also coming on




my landing is the only place im allowed to put them , the gap at the top is for the magnums

[fishfingers007]

just to say i have changed from photobucket to this site, does a better job of showing your rapala's.

Kind of caught me off gaurd Mark . I hit your link . And my collection popped up LOL .


I did the same thing when I started . You need to click the View my public gallery link . Then copy and paste that link .

[fishfingers007]

:-/thanks jason,

[bulldog21]

Great collection! Hopefully one day I can have a "rapala room" like you pretty much have.

[fishfingers007]

well its all very good displaying your lures but you have to keep making bigger boxes, last year i made one for the countdowns, i thought i would never fill it , now its full , holds 141 lures, guess i will have to start again or make one just for specials

[lipripper]

THAT COUNTDOWN DISPLAY IS ...... HOW SHOULD I SAY THIS . .... '' COOL AS HELL '' ....

[fishfingers007]

a few more additions to the collection,


and 3 proto types, one has a k on chin, any one know why ! none of the other proto's i have are numbered in any way.

[fishfingers007]

another mint dealer box i found of 1st generation SFC

[happyshad]

Great collection!

My biggest dilemna is to find an area to display my collection where they won't fade - the ol' lady can keep her walls - there's too much sunshine on 'em anyways! LOL

[fishfingers007]

mine are all on the landing upstairs, no windows there, and out of reach of the kids
