For more information visit www.rapala.com, or visit outdoor retail stores nationwide.Rapala® Flat Rap®
Cast or troll for multiple species with the Flat Rap, a unique, hard-flashing bait that’s in a category by itself. The flat sides and scooping triangular lip combine to generate a hard flashing action that is paired with a quicker, tighter, wounded-minnow display that slices through the water, tantalizing predators that lurk between the two-to-five foot water column.
Suggested retail price: $7.99 - $8.49

Rapala® Trolls-To^TM-Shad and Trolls-To^TM-Minnow
The Trolls-To Shad and Trolls-To-Minnow come in two sizes. Trolls-To size 15 lures run precisely at the 15-foot level by letting out 100 feet of 10-pound-test monofilament line, while the Trolls-To size 20 lures torpedo down to the 20-foot level, allowing anglers to cover a deeper range with the same length of line. Rapala Trolls-To-Minnow and Trolls-To-Shad lures come in 12 proven color patterns from attractor, dirty water patterns to natural forage matches. And, each features strong VMC® black nickel treble hooks.
Suggested retail price: $8.99

Rapala® MaxRap®
Breaking the long-cast barrier, the MaxRap 13 is a high-performance lure injected with Rapala’s patented internal MaxCast mechanism that lets anglers cast an unbelievable distance and then some. Designed with a short lip and a slightly arched back, this thin-bodied minnow profile lure cruises just below the surface at one-to-two feet with a seductive rolling action, just like a living, breathing baitfish.
Suggested retail price: $18.99

Rapala® Lighting Accessories
Anglers know there are a number of situations when having the right light is essential: at the boat ramp after dark or in the early morning, checking in the boat or truck, tying lures at night and everything in between. Rapala has anglers’ lighting needs covered with five light-the-way options: the Fisherman’s Flashlight, Fisherman’s Pinch Light, Fisherman’s Cap Light, Fisherman’s Magnum Cap Light and Fisherman’s Mini Headlamp.
Suggested retail price: $9.99 - $19.99

Sufix® Performance Fuse and Sufix® Performance Fuse Metered
Sufix® creates a whole new category of line with the introduction of Sufix Performance Fuse and Sufix Performance Fuse Metered. Fuse, a rounder, thermally-fused braided line, is produced from 100 percent Dyneema fiber. With Sufix’s unique bonding technology, this line has added body and is designed with enhanced smoothness - resulting in a superior casting and trolling line. Add superior tensile and knot strength, paired with virtually zero stretch, and anglers have an ideal line for any species.
Suggested retail price: $12.99 (125yds)

VMC® Dominator^TM Hammer Head Jigs
This year, domination comes in a new form with the introduction of the Hammer Head Jig from VMC. The Dominator Hammer Head Jig has a unique design. The jig head has two eyelets: one traditional, forward-facing eyelet and one rear-facing, angled down eyelet. This design allows anglers extreme versatility when jigging. Either jig in the traditional style or connect the VMC Quick Strike^TM Trailer Hooks to the back-facing eyelet, and you will up your strikes.
Suggested retail price: $3.69

Storm® Kickin’ Stick^TM
The summit of segmented swim baits has been reached with the Storm Kickin’ Stick. The lure’s supernatural swimming action, caused by a three-segment body, solicits assaults by both fresh and saltwater brutes. It features a lipless front segment that is designed to retrieve at a running depth of one-to-two feet below the surface. Combine that with an internal rattle and this lure will be having anglers reeling in big boys all day long.
Suggested retail price: $9.99 - $14.99
