We have had a very special visitor to this site...

...recently!

Going through some of the admin stuff on the boards, I noticed that someone had requested a lost password be sent back to them.

The name on the email address was very familiar!

Curious, I sent them an email asking if everything was ok. I was surprised to get a response.

Below is the email I received today:


Yes, I had requested a password and I got it. So everything is under control, thank you. I follow your site with interest every now and then.

To answer your question I am Lauri Rapala’s grandson and former CEO of Rapala Corp. I recently retired and established my own lure company. Currently we are making lures 100% by hand the old way. See www.jarmolures.com.



With the best regards,

Needless to say, I was floored. It makes me feel extremely happy to hear of this news! I can't say for sure, but I think it's a safe bet to say that out of everyone, he has the most Rapala 'clout' out of anyone to view this board!


;D

well that confirms something i had been wondering for years. i had figured for a long time that rapala was, at least on occasion, checking out those of us that will spend lots for a single lures, and talk about them constantly. well im glad to know that it was Jarmo checking up on us and not the other suits. i have seen his new lures on his site and have thought very seriously about buying them, i still might. not quite the rapalas i have grown to love, but you have to admit they are very close, wonder how that happened
