First off. I don't believe this for a minute!!! Several problems exist in this auction.

• How old are the SSSR14 line anyway?
  
• If the box was never opened, what is the lip picture from? Must have more than one. In that case, how rare is it?
  
• Looks like a color code on the bottom in the one picture, why not show us that?
  
• Noise balls in the body? Not in any SSR14 that I have seen.
  

In double checking my SSSR14 lures, I noticed that my RH is a SSSR14. Is there also a SSR14 RH Funny I never noticed that before.

Hi Bodeen,

the colour is not rare but is a new european colour of SSSR-14.
Visit this link for others colors: rapala-collection.blogspot.com/

BYE

I still don't believe it LOL. The scales don't look correct. They don't go below the fins. The boxes aren't the new style boxes. The boxes don't have the new sticker on them. All were present on the last new colors I bought from Europe. And the rattle balls the seller states are in these just doesn't add up.

They are more convincing than the groups of 4 and 5 that was on Ebay a while back though. The ones with no boxes. I would like to see a picture of the ends on the box and the bottom of the box. That would sway me even more LOL. There is just something irregular about that lure. Maybe I am just too careful

I was really suprised to see the picture of this lure. I had seen it before.
Yesterday I found this add on one of the Dutch fishingsites.

If you ask me these lures are as fake as can be. Fake lures in a Rapala box. I have never seen these lures in the shops here.

Wow this gets stranger by the minute. If I take a look at the picture of this other link by Predator&Co, these 2 are almost the same. His picture has 5 lures and mine has 6 lures. But what is really strange is that the background is the same.

I will take this picture to my local tacklestore and see if he knows these colours.

But I still think they are fake.

Here are some of these lures I found on www.lurestreet.com.

That one link you listed shows one that is too close to being a croaker. I wish I had the software to rotate that picture around to get a better look at the side with the color code.

100% fake, well 99%, the boxes are real.

Yeah, just look at the hooks, SSR14's always have saltwater hooks on them dont they?

I did send the guy a question about the colour codes.

Hi,

The things which dont fit together are:
- weight is 41gr (not 45gr);
- plastic body whit rattle;

The only true things a:
