They are very proud of their history, and a Rapala lure even appeared on a Finland postage stamp. They were very professional to deal with and each Christmas, a present would arrive in the mail, crystal glass plates, knives, leather goods, and so on, to show their appreciation. The vast majority of the lures that I tested never made it to the market and I guess the ones that I have are now collectibles. Their lures were and still are deadly fish catchers. |
