Weeks of discussion, plenty of emails exchanged, lots of patience to wait… and a final round of meeting with my boss from Finland…
YES!!! The classic Fat Rap proposal is accepted!!! This is the balsa wood type and we will reproduce 2 size FR05 and FR07. However, for them to slot in their tight production schedule and the coming summer holidays, we have to accept whatever the conditions. [:D] This is what we will be having:
FR05 & FR07 - 6 colours and 1 special colour
Chrome blue - CHB - 1200pcs
Chrome Green - CHG - 1200pcs
Firetiger - FT - 1200pcs
Gold Fluro - GFR - 1200pcs
Crawdad - CW -1200pcs
Shad - SD - 1200pcs
REDHEAD - RH - 1200pcs</font id=“size2”></font id=“red”>
The other good news is that as there is another run by other group for FR05, there are additional colours never see before and we gladly took the extra run.
Blue Mullet - BMU - 1200pcs
Shiny GFR - SGFR - 1200pcs
Shiny Silver - SS - 1200pcs
Pearl White - PW -1200pcs
Crawdad - CW - 1200pcs
Redhead - RH - 1200pcs
These are the total quantity that will be produce and ship to Malaysia but it wil also cover Singapore market. Pleaes keep in mind that this is a ONE time special production run and we are not sure if we can ask them to do it again next year or when. Time needed is 12 weeks but because of the July summer holiday, the stock will arrive in August!
So guys, start to save your “bullets” and get ready!!! [:D][:D]
been following this fat rap thingy and one of your Rapala fans…great to have those fat rap back in market coz wanted to have those luce since so many ppl own it and gave lots of good comments bout it…
Anyway this lure is ordered through you or get from local tackle shop?Coz if local tackle shop, it will finish fast then expected..hehe…possible to order from u…?
Thanks for your support, the Fat Rap is indeed a classic good lure. It has been discountined for 6 years and finally the chance to own it again. Yes,1200pcs for both Malaysia and Singapore is not enough but that is the best our factory can do to help us to slot into their schedule.
We do not take direct orders and you have to go to the shop and “grab”. Last night I have been thinking and as we will really like as many of you to own them, what we can do is to take orders from our retailers, then list them out in this forum, and when the stock arrive will alert everyone to go and grab.
right now, start saving your “bullets”[:D] and go and inform all your good kakis.
3 months to go, looking at the qty,
chances to get it is very slim,
must compete with “big budget buyer”
hopefully can own a few FAT RAP 7 this time[:)]
Dear KetamTK,
We cannot stop anyone from buying in bulk[:D], what we can do it to spread out the numbers to different area so that everyone will have a chance to own the Fat Rap. When we take orders from the retailers, we will not give all to a particular retailer but will spread out over the area of Malaysia. [:D]
Dear Fred Bro,
Thanks for your effort to bring back the FR.
I was not an active caster when Fat Rap was around
last time. Must join the FR madness this time [:D][:D]
Get ready everyone. The hunting season for Fat Rap is coming soon [}:)]

rapala san,
nice meeting you as you were answering my question at the other forum,again, the mode of distribution as mention by you, much likely hood everybody has fair chance to own FT…
hopefully all my frens of casting kaki will have the opportunity to have set of colors of their choice..
Thanks for answering [:D]sorry my schedule are very tight this week, could not meet you up in Penang. I be going up again, will have a chance to meet you. Ha.. thanks for giving the rest a chance and to buy a dozen each is already very supportive of you [:D]
piyang, we try to make it as easy as possible for everyone to own the Fat Rap. However, there will be cases that the crowd could be overwhelming at certain shops, so best to be as early as possible when the shops get their stock.
