I stumbled up on this the other day when I was surfing YouTube. It gives a brief over view of how Rapala lures are made.
Rapala is a Finnish company that has been making lures since its founder, Lauri Rapala, began carving his own wooden lures back in the 1930's. To make a long story short, they're still around. Today Rapala lures are used all over the world and hold several titles in addition to selling many fishing accessories other than lures.

I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did. I'm a real sucker for this sort of thing. I'm one of those people who likes seeing how things are made even if I don't really appreciate the end product.
Also, how about that tank they were using?!?!?!?!?!? Sure beats trying out the lures I make in the bathtub!
Until next time--watch yourself and watch your line!

I have to get with Anon on this one. They make some good lures but, the sure do cost!! Since they're one of the few companies still making wooden lures, I guess I can understand it. I wouldn't be surprised if wooden lures go the way of the Buffalo Nickel! !
