Jan Eggers Husky

[dutchie]

Last week I bought a set of 3 Rapala " Jan Eggers " Husky's colour Purple.

But last week I spoke to Jan and he told me that this purple Husky has never been in his collection because he didn't like a small lure like this with 3 hooks.

Can someone tell me what happened here. The diving lip does not have Husky on it, is that normal

Hi Andre.

thats strange.
it is in a box with his picture on it.
it is a very special color.
it is listed in the SÄNGER catalog together with 20 other jan eggers colors.
and it is not from jan eggers!??

for me this one is a Jan Eggers Rapala.

there are some others around which are called Jan Eggers colors, such as J11 green stripes, the H13 with red dots, a MAG-11 with pruple stripes.

all these look very much Jan Eggers, but they are not in Jan Eggers boxes. so for me, these are no Jan Eggers Rapala.

i think to remember the friendship/cooperation between Jan and SÄNGER was very short lived. so maybe they had some colors on their mind which he did not like and which they put in Jan Eggers boxes and thats why all went wrong.

and then there could be the rapala company seeing the J13 green stripes selling very well. according to Tiemo there has been a second run of these due to its high popularity. so i guess rapala thought a J11 could do well. did Jan ever sign responsible for this color as a J11?

was it issued after his cooperation/fight with SÄNGER?

there are really a lot of questions open.

since you are at the source, maybe you can find out more about that.
which would be my first question: did he ever sign for a H13 at all.

BTW, did you find out about the J13 CW and CG?

best,

Thank you Wolfgang for your reply.

I spoke to Jan last week and showed him the pictures and he said that he didn't have a Husky in his collection. Strange, so I think these were made without his permission.

I will meet Jan in a couople of weeks and will ask him about the jointed colours.
