Help locating SR-5's in discontinued color

[zugunruhe]

A friend of mine swears by SR-5's in the discontinued color code (SH) like this:

He had a stash of six which his sons-in-law have now whittled down to only two and he's getting quite nervous that he may be approaching the end of an era with his favorite trolling lure. Anyone know where I might find a few of these to help him out. He wants the deep divers, not the shallow version. I've been from one end of ebay to the other with no luck so far. I had never even seen or heard of this color prior to meeting him.

BTW, what an amazing site you guys have here! Cool to chat with a bunch of Rapalaphiles.

Well about ten years ago I would have told you to go to walmart... they had them on sale and my sister bought one in SSR, she stll has it

But nowadays they are not very common, best bet is still ebay some will show up but other than that just hit every sport shop you can find, usually the higher priced the sport shop (or farther away from any water it is) the better chance of it having older rapalas

Why not just use the SR-5 Bleak (Alb) it's near enough the same pattern and it's easily available.

Yeah, SR-5 ALB FTW!!

Anyways, I just traded a SRRS-5 deep running in that S colour

I'm not familiar with the "Bleak" pattern, is it available in the states?

Any recommendations for a reliable site overseas to purchase from?
