Location: Lincoln Park, Mi | What's the deal with these lures? Are they really manufactured by Rapala or custom painted? Up until this point I've heard that they were marketed by Rapala in Canada only. I e-mailed Rapala to get an original to copy(didn't tell them that) and the lady replied that she has no knowledge of such a color/lure in any country they market. |

They are a Canada only color.
There are Euro. only colors also.
We have them.
Not hard to make.
They are just all pearl white, with yellow eyes. |

Location: Lincoln Park, Mi | Well, I have an original coming from someone :), but it still doesn't answer the question of whether they are factory painted by Rapala. If they are, why not sell them in the US if they're such a hot item here?

Everything I have heard about them is they are painted by rapala for the canadian market. For a couple other oddball Rapala colors try here also: http://www.mikestackleshop.co.uk/ |

Should be the brightest white you can find, it mite just be the lighting.
But looks good.
Eyes are brighter than org. but thats better in my mind. |

Location: Lincoln Park, Mi | Hard to get it to photograph good on anything but black. She's bright white! Had to take it far away from the light to keep the glare at a minimum. |
