Guest hottuna Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Just heard a whisper that yes shimano has lost rapala to freetime. Reason i`m told - unknown. Anyone able to shed some light on this? dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bashir Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Do you actually sell many rapalas besides the magnum range? You hardly ever hear or read about people reccomending stuff like shad raps, fat raps, husky jerks etc... all great lures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There good, but not too many here in oz, are as keen on rapala . dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bashir Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Looking through my old Fishing Australia mags, rapalas are definately the most popular lure reccomended. Ah well, I have plenty of them, they all work great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patl Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 apart from the CD's which are pretty standard , I swim a few of the Husky Jerks and they have caught a heap of tailor and salmon especially real early morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishlessmick Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 With Squidgies under the blue fox brand staying with shimano,but the squidgy braid being a rapala product - i wonder if starlo or bushy will have to start using freetime gear Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bassifier Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I'm pretty sure Blue Fox comes under the Rapala VMC branding... could be wrong though.. I've been keeping tabs on this one for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Rapala bought out Freetime. Squidgy is still Shimano brand.Rich. 48164[/snapback] its true, rapala did buy out freetime... Shimano will lose rapala braid, rapala accesories, rapala lures, bluefox and williamson... everything squidgy (except braid) will remain unchanged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
