As you all know, the only places i know of with plentiful supplies of rapalas are ebay, and a tackle shop in Spain, which i only get to visit when we go on holiday (obviously). I found a clackin' rap in one of my local tackle shops, as well as 2 or 3 other types of rapalas (which i didn't buy), but they had all gone by the next time i went back, and that was the only time i have ever seen rapalas in a tackle shop here in the UK  |
