Anybody notice rapala's stock probelms?
All of a sudden, there was a huge availabilty issue this spring.
As all that stuff was going on, the service side of thier buisness went to hell.
Product availabilty was nil. Backordering was a mega problem.
But, thats the way it goes.
Theres no doubt you will see a change in the lures. It may be better, it may be worse. Only time will tell.
If you look at the company's history, its amazing how many changes they have undergone.
From hand carved european wood baits with foil finishes to american mass produced baits some made of plastic. To asain made mass produced baits.

to see it happen, but you just can't afford to pay americans any more to do the menial tasks. You can pay a chinese worker a buck a day with no benefits....tought to compete against that.
