  Business Report - Luck matched Marilyn's allure with Rapala lures   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
The story of Rapala VMC's rise to global prominence in the $3 billion (R18.2 billion) fishing tackle industry begins with the inauspicious tinkerings of Lauri Rapala at his lakeside home in 1930s Finland, the death of the famous film star and the cosmic timing of a reporter's curiosity in the aurora borealis.
Lauri Rapala's first lure, carved out of pine bark in 1936, was not the first wood carving fishermen had used to try to tempt fish, but it marked the start of a fishing revolution because it and its successors caught fish like nothing before.
Rapala VMC's biggest factory is in China, where it makes fishing tackle under the Storm and Blue Fox brands, and much of the labour-intensive assembly work for Rapala lures has been shifted from Finland to Estonia and Ireland to cut costs.

 Rapala Pro Fishing Review (Xbox)
For those of you unfamiliar with fishing tackle, Rapala is the name in hard bait, and has built quite an enterprise providing Shad Raps, Skitter Walks, and Skitter Pops to the world (no, these aren’t 50’s dance steps).
Rapala decided that fishing would take place solely on boats, which is the only way that a true angler would tackle the lakes found in the game.
Rapala is split into two modes: boating and fishing, with boating having to take place before any casting can take place.

 Rapala Long Cast Minnow
Today’s advancements have not only improved the way we fish, but the way we live life.Though GPS and sonar may be the first ideas in many people’s minds when it comes to fishing technology, today’s topic is a much simpler aspect of the sport, yet it is the key to all fishing - the lure.
No implement in our tackle boxes posessed both the distance of the Long Cast Minnow and that fish triggering action that Rapala lures are famous for.The primary mechanism responsible for the extended castability of the Long Cast Minnow is a weight transfer system that engages when the lure is thrown from the rod.
The weight stays locked with a special locking pin which allows the minnow to be ripped or twitched on the retrieve without spoiling the action of the minnow or resetting the weight.

 Rapala Pro Fishing > Review
This variety of underwater life adds realism to the fishing experience; find the wrong spot and while your competitors are pulling in the muskies you’re trying to find, you could be stuck with crappie-nibbles.
Which you use is up to you and both work relatively well, though the underwater camera often hides the approach of most fish until they strike … a problem that plagues all underwater cams in all fishing games.
In the end, fishing titles are a niche genre, but Rapala Pro Fishing offers enough depth and variety to keep most anglers happy from the first time snow flies this fall to spring ice-out.

 Rapala Pro Fishing Review - Xbox
In one box, I have my freshwater tackle, another is for delicate trout fishing (mostly flies for streams, though sometimes tiny spinners work well for me) and my last box is for heavy, line breaking fish found in larger waters including ocean surf.
For the stereotype fisherman (drunken angler passed out in a boat all day), this may seem ideal, but for me-- it's just a way to satiate my need to catch-and-release the day away.
Having a game to play, with the tag of "Rapala" attached to it is a great thrill.
