One day, Rapala will make them again. In the fishing world, things are discontinued or retired for a few years and then brought back, usually with a different name, as a ‘new’ discovery. Don’t tell anyone. This is a closely guarded secret.

What series; shad rap, husky jerk...

Create a search on eBay that e-mails you when one is listed. I have found other out of production fishing gear using this method.

Add the word "vintage" in front of the search keywords. It can bring up discontinued raps and other lures. Good luck! I'll keep an eye out for that lure as well.

Man, I'm getting old if "vintage" describes a hot tiger Jointed Rap. :)

Just get a similar one of another color and paint it the color you want. It’s not that hard to get it close.

I wouldn't put to much stock in the color. Time and place are the MOST important by far.
