Normark Shines Once Again with new Rapala and VMC Offerings


Image

Introduction: Rapala, a Normark brand, sent the announcement out about their new product a few days before ICAST sort of stealing out thunder. But of course, that wasn't the only news they had to share. We caught up with Dan Quinn to discuss what else was new and exciting with the brand.

That brat crankbait design looks identical to Anglers republic(AR lures) crank 50. I wonder if rapala bought the rights to it :-k
Great little crankbait with unique design. (Yuki Ito thought so highly of the internals of AR's larger 1/2oz crank, he used the design for the MB S-crank :whistle: ).
I'll buy one, will be interesting to see how the rapala & AR compare.

That ripstop boot tail design is pretty cool, at least in theory. Watching video of it swim though, the action doesn't look like anything too unique?
But like all baits, the fish will be the judge.
