Someone is offering me some old Rapala Specials. Enclosed some pictures. I like to know if they are really as special as this guy tells me. Thanks,     Andre |

They are all somewhat collectible but not necessarily the most popular specials. Bodeen could tell you more about the SSR's, he might even want them? I think the others would be average specials.

the top three look like a variant of the roach color. I would be interested in those. The others are Goldfish and are less rare. The boxes might make them a bit more special, but those aren't in the best of shape either. For sure I would bid on an auction with those in it, or buy them outright.

Yes Jason.
you are right. this is the floating version (or SSR) of the CDSR GRO.
it took me some time to figure out what is the difference between this and the CDSR, because the boxes are just labeled special.
thanks to you for telling me about the box colors. can you believe that somebody not as crazy as you are (I am mesuring crazy here in terms of different, NIB rapala one has at home) does not realize that a lure is in a gray or green box, unless it is pointed out to you.
but why sisters?
are all rapala female, or just the SSR, what about the magnums?
these look to me like big brothers.
and what about that super shad raps, grandma??
who his the daddy of all rapala. Lauri?

It is sisters because all boats are females.

so is somebody traing to lure me here again into something?
what do raplas have to do with boats except that some swim and some sink, just like boats.
i understand the one with the brothers and some people call all the fish "she" even if it is males.
still no idea bout the boat. and why dont you like grandma for the SSR14?
