For
the new year Rapala will introduce on the market a new
limited edition lure: the Long Cast Minnow of 12
centimeters. This new lure is created for both
freshwater and saltwater fishing.
The
development process of the new Long Cast Minnow is a
slow and painstaking process. Intensive handwork,
craftsmanship and engineering genius are the hallmark of
this new lure.
The
Rapala weight transfer system is unique, proprietary and
patent-pending. It's been designed to make this lure
very long casting while maintaining an excellent
swimming action. In the process of casting and
retrieving, the internal weights shift and "lock"
in the desired position of the lure to maintain proper
balance and action. The locking system also makes it
possible to jerk the lure on retrieve without causing
the weight to shift or move to the back of the lure,
which would destroy the lure's swimming action.
The
internal weight transfer system is hand-fitted in a
specially lathed balsa lure cavity. This assures proper
fit and balance. Each lure is sealed, sanded and
finished with seven coats of paint and lacquer. To top
it all off, individual tank-testing and hand-tuning
guarantee each lure will have the famous Rapala
swimming action, right out of the box.
It
is produced in 10 colors and in the unique size of 12
centimeters.
