Here are some new lures from Rapala. Lets start with the expansion in the X-Rap Family.



They say you can spot an X-Rap from a mile away. After last year’s ‘original’ X-Rap (size 10) made a worldwide splash, there is big news: more lures bearing the same fish-catching genetics, including new sizes and colors in the original. They are the X-Rap 08, X-Rap Jointed Shad, X-Rap 14, X-Rap Magnum 30...

Our traditional fishingtrip with the boys to Porvoo was great. We had 5 pikes (2x3kg, 2x1,7kg and 1x2kg). This is me with the 3kg pike. No new fishing records were made. My personal pike record is 4,25 kilos which isn´t big. After fishing we had a Sauna, eat the pike and drank some wine and beer.

My eel photo (taken last summer) was published on about.com.

Nils Master BIG-BIG Mouth 110 is (according to their own ad) a hydrodynamic revolution and the world's first hydrodynamic design that actually catches fish! It´s available in 2 sizes with 5 new colors coming soon.

A waterproof case for a cell phone. I once dropped my Nokia into the sea. Yes it was saltawater, but after a shower with freshwater the phone was working. Well, a waterproof case could be handy and useful...

Auch! I forgot to re-charge my cell phone before I went fishing. How can I now send my picture of the giant pike to friends with my mobile? COMCOM©'s cell phone "wind-up" dynamo charger - Don´t leave your home without it :-)

I read an online article on sportfishingmagazine.fi about top lures in Finland. Here´s what they said.

I thought it would be nice to have a document with the basic info about the biggest lure manufacturers. I did some research and some copy / paste work and here´s the result.

These are the strongest brands in the lure business according to an investment analysis I recently read.

1. Rapala (~35%)
2. Berkley (~ 10%)
3. Mepps (~10%)
4. Daredevil (~ 5%)
5. Storm (~5%)
