Fat Rap Collection

Post by Good351 » Thu Sep 01, 2011 10:42 am

Ok, so I've always had a liking of the Rapala Fat Rap's ever since I was a kid.. One of the first lures I remember getting for Christmas was a FR5 in Brown Craw.. So last year I got to picking up a few here and there and that has led to this collection... There are a few I'm still trying to acquire, but they are expensive..and usually from over seas.

In the third pic you can see the super rare Citrus Shad RFR5 (2), the Citrus Shad RFR4, and the Blue Shad RFR4.

About half of the lures are new and never been cast..and I still have the boxes.. Someday I will build a rack to display them.

Actually I rarely use any of them.. But when/if I do it is usually the RFR-4 in brown craw, SFR-5 in Silver or Gold Foil, or the FR-7 in White.

I had them all laid out and sorted so I knew what I had.. I had some guys interested in some extra's over on BBC..
The triples and quadruples are being sold.. Some of the doubles are going to be fished (maybe) and the clean #1's are going to be put in a display at my house. :big grin:
