jay, saw a couple of promotionals on those.  i'll bet they will be a smallie killer.  all things considered, the original floating rap has to be one of the most productive lures ever.  i've caught everything from muskies to channel cats on them.  i would rank them right with the old doll flies and c.p. swings.  

Rap, keep this a secrete, I agree whole heartedly with....................... the C.P. Swings.
 
 
 
 
 
Wellllll...............  OK..................  the Rapalas' too.

see I never did that good with them always did good with double jointed or shad raps . I bet I haven't used a old one for years . have to dust it off this year .

at the risk of aging myself, i will say that i bought my first in 1967 or 68 and have been using the originals since.  i loved the originals that were made in finland and though they seemed a bit cheaper made, those made in ireland were still good.  when manufacturing swung down to estonia, i and others started having trouble with the lips breaking.  this still will not deter me from continuing to use them.
