Hi Kees I have never seen that one before, but it looks like a good color for night time topwater fishing. If you can fiind an extra one for me I would like one  Thanks, Fred email: fredr30533@yahoo.com |

Kees that looks so farfetched that i cant see it being real. I have never seen any markings like that on any rapala. Also that orange is something different. No doubt i like the color but a true rapala color it may be not. Just my .02

I know man! but hey, there is only one way to find out. if it aint a real Rap J-11 I can give it away or use it to retreat my lost lures.. no man overboard if you ask me.

It is probably a custom painted one. Most of the time they take the hooks off like shown in picture to paint them ect and like hotntot said I have never seen any markings like that on any Rapala before.

Looks custom to me....maybe it will be good for at night so hopefully the bass wont get that good a look and get scared away by the paint job....

I agree with everyone else, it doesn't look like the kind of colour pattern rapala would come up with. TBH, its probably just me, but that looks a little too chunky for a J11 anyway. I would be very careful about buying this, and would atleast ask the seller if it is genuine.

Seller says its genuine and he bought it in a tackleshop.. I've asked him for better pics.. especialy for the belly to see if there is J11 on it

Seller now says he cant find the J-11 in the belly..
so if you ask me, it is absolute no genuine Rapala. I will not buy it.

i thought so... Do you know whether it is a complete knock off, or is it a genuine rapala that's been custom painted? Just wondering because as i said earlier, the width of the lure looks slightly thicker than a usual J11
