Ok 1st official posting: After reading tobis posting about strange european colors maybe I've seen my first "true" SSR14-S ever. Mmmh - wrong reflections or glace, but it looks like a metallic dark blue back for me.  The only one example (in bad shape) I thougt about 99% was on Spinnfischen.info with a normal black back. My catalogues from '94 and '95 don't show the official pattern in pictures. They were listed only as S=Silver. What's the real one? As I checked my "Have-List" i recognized the metallic black on the left - well known as BK and an other one beside with the same codemarked box as BK.   Here the doubtful colour again in an better closeup.  On reguest I've got the short answer "Forget about it, printing failure or wrong box! It's the BLUBK color!" Never heard about it. Tough men, can't believe it. Quick-thinking I bougt two years ago a pair of them. ;D ...but there is still the open answer for me about the true code or the wrong label. Does there formerly exists two variations of BK's and if so which is the older one? Oh forgotten, both were formerly made in Finland so it could match the same period of time like the Silvers on the top. It's your turn! |

I believe the Dark Blue is in the wrong box. Bodeen or CDJ or Jason might tell us if they have found the true color code as I can't find it in my database, but it is a true Rapala collectible. The BK is well known for you but very rare here. There also is a silver (S) which has a black back and Silver sides and is not quite as rare but a tough find. I would like to trade for one of those Dark Blues if you find one you would like to trade.

I have yet to figure the correct code for the dark blue. I always called it blue slate. I have that and the black one, still looking to pick up the S.
Rapala is well known to call the same color different names across model lines, and to change colors and keep the same code, but that would be a stretch in this case. It is possible, but I believe the dark blue and the black to have two different color codes.
If you come up with an extra S, I would be very interested.

I am not sure exactly what the toughest pull on the SSR14 list. I have seen 1 S and 1 BK on Ebay.us. The S was pulled  I believe I have seen the SFC twice. Ones that I have never seen have been the PW and GFR, but those two are just rumors. |

One thing that could mess up this scarcity is Estonia. On the MFR line I am only missing the red and the green from the Japan natural color series. I have seen a red one produced in Estonia. If this happens on the super shad line, the market could get saturated in a hurry.

Well, thanks for your opinions about the color question for the BK's. Rapala schould conceive a better codebase instead of their inconsistent multiple choice.  This would be much easier for us. So if I follw my code list these double or triple occupancies exist for expl. on other patterns for the GRT's, HS's and GSD's and may be others too. . . . Nice try.  |

Hi people! Have not been here long time. Sorry! Look at a very strange SSR-14 color - FT but with RED plastic lip and bright red eyes. Sorry for poor quality - phone camera. The man, who showed it, says that's new color for Japan market. Is it true? PhotoPS Happy New Fishing Year 2 everyone!   |

Those red lips are from a man who is selling off his collection since his grandpa died last year. Of course, he used that same line for 4-5 years. I finally emailed him and mentioned you should change that or celebrate the longest funeral in the history of mankind.
Those are altered lures. Same goes for the people selling the rattling super shads.
As far as the dark blue super shad, I wonder if it could be a promo? I have a European perch promo in the super shad line. Looks just like one of the other ones, except the base coat or the scale coat is of a different color. I believe it is like the fire perch. I would have to look at it to know for sure.
After reading my old posts on here, I need to follow up with that I have the super shad silver.
Happy new year!!!!

In searching for some SSR's I stumbled over this nice finnish trading board www.kalastus.com/keskustelu/messages/42756/111245.html?1167989471with these hot bays. Very interesting to me are in the last row the Stainless Steel Mackerel?  Sweet Metallic Perch below the common pattern and the very hot bellied Perch top right.  Look @ these the two different goldfishes. One plated and the other is orange painted only.  Can anyone give me some informations about the time line or their box codes? Would be be happy to complete my collection so plz. help me. |

I would be interested in that metallic croaker, gold belly perch, gold fish, red roach, and that red hot tiger.
The closer you get to completing a collection, the more oddballs that pop out.

Hi guys.
since the top right in the middle pic seems to have green stripes across the back,
i think it is fair to call it a Jan Eggers SSR14.
i guess Jörg does not have any of these rare super shads,
and if he had, he would not let them go.
for most of these you will have to go to Lahti or NL.
