MINNETONKA, MINN.

"Whether you're fishing for a record or recreation, a derby or dinner, you'll catch more and bigger fish on baits in the Rapala family," says Rapala USA President Tom Mackin. "The world over, Rapala lures are the most trusted and relied upon baits to bag big fish and beat records — as well as fill limits, week in and week out."
Rapala lures are responsible for more IGFA world records than any other lure brand in history, holding world-record catches on every continent except Antarctica. Rapala is the first and only lure manufacturer to receive an IGFA Lifetime Achievement Award.
