Return of the Spotted Dog - Rapalla classic lure return

by Rapala VMC Australia on 22 Sep 2011 It’s back! Rapala’s 'Spotted Dog' was first made famous in the mid-to-late 80’s by Rapala’s Head of International Export, Erkki Norell, as a superb trout and native freshwater lure colouration; however due the complexity of this pattern, supply was limited and as a result it was common to see avid anglers painting their own Rapala lures, Spotted-Dog-style.

Times have not changed as the Spotted Dog pattern is still widely sought after; commonly painted as an aftermarket lure; and is still very difficult to create.

For a limited time the Rapala CountDown 05 and Rapala Original Floater 07 are available in Spotted Dog, with each individual lure hand-painted by the Rapala factory in Finland.

Exclusive to Australia, fishos should take the opportunity to grab one of these great Rapala VMC Australia
