Rapala is a globally recognized brand with distribution in more than 140 countries. Lauri Rapala started the company in 1936, a few years after carving his first wobbler from cork and covering it with the foil wrapper of a chocolate bar. This floating imitation of a small roach paved the way for Rapala’s success story. The original lure is still in the range and is now called the No. 9 Floater. In addition to effective wobblers, Rapala manufactures high-quality rods, reels, clothing, and accessories for sport fishing.
Here, we’ve chosen to divide the lures into different weight groups, just as we’ve categorized rods into casting weight groups, to make it easier for you in this jungle.
Ultra-light includes the very lightest lures, often weighing just a few grams.
Light includes many of the lures used for perch fishing with smaller soft baits, small crankbaits, and spinners.
Light - Medium and Medium contain most common lures in the mid-weight class - spoons, crankbaits, spinners, and other lures intended for everything from sea trout to lighter pike fishing.
Heavy is a common measure for pike fishing.
Extra heavy and Super heavy include lures for, e.g., saltwater fishing and heavier pike fishing.
Fish species
Here, we’ve categorized the products based on which fish you want to hook. We’ve relied on what manufacturers specify, but also on experience of what usually works. The list could almost be endless, and many things work for more species than we’ve listed, so don’t be afraid to experiment.
