Rapala Husky #13

[Jumpin Jack]

Anyone know where I can purchase the Rapala Husky #13?
This is not to be confused with the 'oh so popular' Husky Jerk.
The Husky #13 was discontinued by Rapala for awhile but now
is back. I have been skunked on-line by all the usual suspects,
ie; Cabela's, BassPro, etc...

Jumping Jack,

Where did you get your info about the Husky comming back? I had not heard anything. This is great news!!

I bought the last 6 they had on the shelf last summer when I heard they quit makeing them. I only have one left.

JKJ,
After some direct company research (I called Normark/Rapala), they totally hosed us by having a Web posting that states they are re-introducing the Husky #13. The Web info is totally inaccurate and misleading. The Husky #13 data on the Rapala Website is 2 years old!!! The Husky was discontinued again last year and there are no plans for re-manufacturing at this time.

Here's a list of Rapala's top retail outlets so if you see any old #13's on the shelf, grab em:

Cabela's
BassPro
WallMart
Galleon's
Gander Mountain
Fleet Farm

FYI: I have landed both my trophy walleye(11pds-31in) and northern(24pds-44in) with the #13 Blue (I only have two left).

Have you seen any competing manufacturer with a Husky type size, weight, etc, (exact specs are: 5.25in 3/8oz)???

I know a person who specializes in obtaining discontinued baits who can get #13 Husky Rapalla's. Leave your email address and I will give you his phone number. I have used him before to get the Huskys.

Thanks for the follow up......

I'm still devistated. (I like that word) I was hoping they would bring them back like new coke/classic coke.

How about a Classic Husky ? PLEASE!!

Also, just so everyone out there knows, there is only one size Husky, it's a #13 of course, hence the term Husky! (again, different than a Husky Jerk)

That bait is the most consistent big fish crankbait I have ever used.

Popia,

That would be great!!
