Most popular rapala

[2500c]

Back at the job it's busy as usual, nontheless I managed to spend half a day counting all the Rapalas available in Japan today (www.rapala.co.jp) and here are the results of color and size combinations available ->

Magnum = 240
Count-Down = 214
Floating = 169
Shad Rap (family) = 153
Husky Jerk (family) = 128
Dives-To (family) = 84
Tail-Dancer = 76
Jointed = 60
Fat Rap = 38
Others = 374

All in all you can purchase 1536 different Rapalas in Japan (not counting the jigs and Minnow spoons)

If one wants to collect all readily available models that would cost in the neighbourhood of $2000 +/-

Hmm, I think I will stick to the old hard-to-find finnish made ones

Thanks for the tally, that is some nice work. Its amazing to me how many magnums they produce.

[2500c]

Yes that surprised me as well, though the number covers floating as well as sinking Magnums.

Note! The amount of $$ needed to purchase them all is around 10 times as much as mentioned above Ouchhh... Think you can find a vintage Ferrari 308 on ebay for 20K with a little luck
