Oscar,
Btw, if you read the 1st posting this 4 new colors is designed locally and its meant to match the life-like sebarau, PB, toman fries and our seluang. I actually designed it :wink: for Rapala Lure Competition sometime last year…Make sure you grab a set of it and give a go !..

TJS,

I dont have the final say in this, but it’s all depend on the Product Development Department in Rapala. They are the one that makes the final decision and so as MR. Loke of Rapala VMC Asia Pacific…

Keep your suggestions and wild ideas flowing…its good to get your feedback and Rapala will work closely with all of you out there..cheers

Just bought 3 + 3 tropical rapala today… nice looking lures, i exclude the seluang tho

anyway was casting around with it just to fine tune it and testing… impressive 1 out of 3 lure need to be tuned, consider rapala standard these days it’s considered good

anyway caught nothing but a clam hehe, means how good it is lol

Novice angler here, any constructive advices greatly appreciated. Thank you

If you work the X-Rap and study its ability to have various presentation. You’re open to a few options and tricks to present it when the fishing gets tough. The PB color is by far a eye-catching color even in clear to murky tanin waters. It just out-shine it in the strike zone.Whereas, there aren’t many brownish/sand finishing (sebarau color) on the lure this days accept for one particular color on the Taildancer..cant remember the model name.

In my opinion this brownish color to it gives out a very natural and subtle presentation in the real eco-system. If you didn’t already know, in the wild baitfishes literally lights up when they are panic or being chase. Whereas, a calm bait-fishes tend to stay in their vibe and this is where I see this sebarau color does do the trick. Same goes to the rasbora color.

Spend more time and experiment your lures. Cause that’s what you call fishing :wink:

Dear Bro JP,

Many thanks for your posting and it was indeed our pleasure to demostrate and give you guys more information about lure fishing. It was indeed one of the best sessions that I have in terms of questions and answers. I really need to think very hard to answer all the questions and I hope my answers made sense.

We even introduce Ming’s colours during the seminar as it is something that all Malaysians can be proud of.

Bro JS, you catch clam again?? How do you do that? ha ha!!!

Fred, this XR8 is for japan market isn’t? any possibility it will be introduce to malaysian market?

bro mfb, it is possible to introduce the chrome series to our market [:D]

the tropical colours are selling pretty well. It will be better in due time as more people start to show their catches on them [:D]

Guys, Just found this thread out! Hehe, have not logged on in ages. Any idea where i can get these? Cos i have not seen them in my regular shops yet.

Ming, Awesome work bro! U make the hukah clan proud! :slight_smile: Just the other day i was thinking it would be great if they had xraps in toman fry and sebarau (Im an xrap fan, never leave home without a few in the box!)and then i bumped into this topic! SWEET!!! We should do another PB bashing trip soon man!

Hi Evan,

The tropical colours have been in the shops for quite a while. If you did not see them at your regular Rapala retailer, please ask the boss to stock up for you [:D]
