They may ask you to return the baits for them to do a post mortem exam on, but likely they would replace the dead ones. Worth doing. Spro has had similar issues with other baits and has been good about standing behind their products. Champ188 1
abkeenan Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 I am not sure why Rapala is continually missing so badly on the paint schemes they are intending to match. Surely they have about the best R&D team and surely that team knows that fisherman want the classic colors in the worst way. Rapala literally botches every single "classic" color they come out with.The V37 and V38 classic Table Rock colors are both off. Especially the V38 "Green Craw" that should be the V388 "Gold Craw". The SP 90 Missouri Craw they just re-released a few months ago is terrible compared to the original. The V209 Natural Red Craw is not close either. There are just too many to even list. Maybe Rapala has a deal with the Custom Painter's Labor Union or something?

I guarantee you that if you call or email them and send the baits back to them they will replace all your broken ones with new ones. I did this with SPRO back when they introduced their McStick jerkbaits and they replaced all the defective baits at no cost (other than cost to ship them back) plus extras.

Probably using " sustainably sourced" paint or some other Euro nonsense. Ham 1

That is, after all, how REAL change comes about these days. Who want's to volunteer to smear poop fashioned in the Strike King logo to get this ball rolling? dtrs5kprs and Ham 2
