I've been a user of Rapala baits for over 43 years. Rapala's were the first lures I bought as a young kid with my money earned on the family farm after a week's work, $5. I still have and use some of those lures to this day.

Rapala is the first lure brand I learned and bought, over 40 years ago. That lure, and several like it, are still in my tackle box. Rapala is a way of life.

It was my first and best topwater lure, from Day 1. The wounded minnow imitation, where you make it look like a hurt fish trying but failing to swim to the depths. Irresistible to bass. Immune to snagging in rocks. The one lure you'd jump in and get, when any other time, you'd be scared to go in. Rapala courage.

As a ten year old I got my first real fishing lure, Rapala, and I’m using 40 years later. I have built up my tackle box with adding solely Rapala lures over the years and I’ve probably got every color and type made. I also still have the original box and papers for each lure. Those cardboard boxes must be another invention by Rapala because they never wear out. This is a company that checks every lure before it leaves the facility. They have a sense of quality and dedication. They know that is something that Business Think-tanks and brainstorming ideas about what well make money isn’t going to work. They make a high quality product and have always been very inexpensive in the store. Balsa wood is still used. One could even say that the lures are handmade but Rapala sells for a fraction of what they are worth. This has been happening for 100 years. It reminds me of what American companies were doing when I was ten, 40 years ago.

rapala is my favorite bait.. i use them all the time

I'm not very old, I'm 36, but I have been fishing for 30 years and when I'm not catching fish, I always get in my tackle box and pull out a Rapala. They have ALWAYS been my favorite lures, of ALL kinds.

One of the most iconic fishing lures of all time. Mepps would be the other one. Thank You Rapala for the original floating f9 in Hot Steel, my last two PB Smallmouth have came to hand with that lure. I am searching for other models in that color now, please do not discontinue Hot Steel. Thank You

My favourite Rapala is a J11 diving lure for Sea Bass. I really like the action and quality.

Good video! Rapala lures are some of my favorite lures to use.

i love rapala lures and now i love them more

In the Boundry Waters of Minnesota over 50 years ago, I met my first Rapala. My crafty mother took some visual cues and made her own versions so we could go after big pike and walleyes. The local outfitter was renting the Rapala baits for, if I remember correctly, $10 bucks per day plus a $20 deposit in case you lost it. Mom's knock off was probably almost as effective and I doubt my dad was ever prouder of her when he landed some nice pike on the cheap. Sawbill Canoe Outfitters north of Toftee, Mn was our favorite place for several summers.

My first bass I ever caught was on a Rapala when I was around 9 years old at a kids fishing derby. Bass weighted 6.5 pounds and got me a trophy for biggest fish and a picture in the local news paper. My parent had the bass mounted and the lure hangs from its mouth. I never used it again. Awesome seeing this story! Thanks for great memories Rapala!

To be fair, I’ve tested them and they bomb compared to the Shakespeare Big S or the Rublex Ondex No.6 spinner. The catch rates are considerably lower and that’s testing them for 1000’s of hours alongside other lures. A twitched dead bait surpasses all artificials, especially in terms of successful hook ups and fish landed. The trebles also hurt the fish and are horrible to unhook, compared to a single Aberdeen hook. I also had a Rapala scale which stopped functioning after a few weeks of use. I received no response from their customer services, so I refused to buy their products ever again. You can’t trust a company, who have been shown to not support you when things go wrong.

Victor Remick I should imagine different countries might vary in the fish’s lure preference, but Pike, Perch and Chub in the UK, tend to be less likely to take a Rapala. It’s not just their performance, I think that they are bad because they add to plastic pollution in our waterways and because they are too expensive for what they are. They are pretty though, haaa.

Years ago I bought a freshwater Rapala lure out of a discount junk bin at a Walmart in Bentoville Arkansas for a dollar and sum. That freshwater lure turned out to be the best saltwater lure I ever had. That lure landed speckled seatrout shortly after hitting the waters off the pier on the Gulf of Mexico in Riviera TX. My youngest brother took the old lure out of my shed one day after asking me for some mono for his fishing rod and lost it due to not trying it properly. I was so upset and since then I have yet to find any lure as good as that one.

rapala legacy nice video love to see how sum peoples dreams come thru hard work.!

I loved seeing the workers in the distribution center

I've got a blue rapala that my grandfather gave me years ago, he always swore by it and I always keep it in my tackle box because I know it works

Love to have all that tech at my fingertips. I’m sure when guys start working there they are very motivated.

Rapala in SC all day. Started using them wayyyyy back in the 60's. Still rule my box. (Boxes) lol

About 15 years ago I buy one Rapala 6 inch in length and 40 Ringgit each , I have to work for 1 day to buy 1 piece , it so expensive but it worth it , it's colour red head white body , with one bait caught 4 big fish total weight not less than 25kg , I from Malaysia 🙌

I didnt know Rapala was Finnish. Im suddenly Proud of my country.

Rapala the Greatest minnow style made lure ever made! I remember in the 60's when they first caught on in the upper Midwest, they didn't sell them they rented them and you had leave a $20.00 deposit and your drivers license! And fishermen still kept them!

Rapala perch floater is what I caught my biggest smallmouth bass on.

I used a floating one for many years that I have sadly lost now. A floating one that worked like gangbusters. So many trouts were caught with that thing. We also had a sinking one that sadly did not work so great.
