Barra Magnum, rare color?

[honkamaa]

Need help to identify this color.
In the picture the top lure is a Rapala Barra Magnum 11 in CG (Pearl Orange). The bottom one is a similar color I dont think I've seen before. As seen on photo the stripes has sligthly different colors, a sharper edge instead of the blured one and also the stripes is not connected with the stripes on the other side (no stripes runs over the back of the lure) and also the lure has differen eye-color than the other.

Is this just two CG made during different years or is it different colors and most important, is this rare?

YES I HAVE SEEN THESE BEFORE I THINK THE TOP IS CG AND THE OTHER IS THE NEW STYLE OF CG AND ARE THE BOTH UP FOR SELL IF SO I WOULD LIKE THEM BOTH

THANKS
JOHN

P.S. I GOT BOTH OF THE SAME COLORINGS IN CD-MAG 18

Thanks John. I sent you PM.
On the upper CD-18 MAG, does the stripes cross over the back?

Slight threadjack, but why does pearl orange have a Rapala colour code of CG? All/most other colour codes are easy to grasp, e.g. PK is pike, PM is purple mackerel, etc.

P.S. Hairy Killer - great pike bait!

hi, CG stands for Constant Guigo, im not even real sure who he is, but its named after him. im guessing he is a famous european fisherman that helped design the color. but thats what the CG stands for.

I picked up a mag 14 in that color also( all white with the orange stipes over the back) "but no box" the lure is in excellent shape paid 7 bucks for it and never seen that color before, I was going to throw it for ski's but something told me to put it in the display box, what you guys think, I'm new to this and would like some advise, Thanks Craig
