I just bought the last two at Fleet Farm. They were half price. You'd better hurry because they are going to dissapear soon.

I still have a feeling that Normark/Rapala is planning to bring back the Husky original, just with a new look. We will see, they like to do that it seems?
Take a look at SALMO lure's. They make some life like lures that are very much in the tradition of the Rapala but with many original innovations that I find to be interesting.
I personally believe that SALMO's line of lure's are better in many ways. That is a bit hard for me to say as I am long time Rapala fan, but it look's that way to me.
I am testing several of SALMO's lures this season so I will be able to speak with more experance with on them down the line, either way, good or bad.

They are a shop, but Uncle Milty is a good guy and he may want to move the baits. Give him a call and see what he will do.

The SALMO WHITEFISH is the model I think is a great lure to replace the Husky 13.

Note the placement of the front eyelet to produce the ideal amount of wobble. They also have metal lips avalable to work them rocky long line areas that eat plastic lips for breakfast.
OK, I'm done bragging up the line, just take a peak an see what you think.

Try your local Walmart store(s). This time of year, you can ususally find them on sale for $2-3.00.
