I have several companies that I love to work with, but I have limited companies that I actually sign partnership agreements with. The main reason is that I rarely find companies that make products that fit all of my needs or that I like everything they make. However, I am very happy to announce a new partnership with Rapala Lure Company.

Rapala fulfills my tackle needs in the hard lure category. They cover me for topwater, twitch baits, suspending baits, diving baits and trolling baits. I decided to join with them after using their products for several years and having great success with them. I love using them for snook, seatrout, tarpon, redfish, largemouth bass, bowfin, grouper, snapper, jacks, and more. I have pretty much found that if it swims and eats other fish, they have a lure that will be perfect.

I'll be highlighting some specific baits in upcoming months, giving an example of when and what I use them for. When possible, I will also include some video of the action of each lure (usually only the deep diving plugs I use for grouper or offshore cannot be filmed).

If there is a specific Rapala lure that you would like to know about, send me a message and I;ll be happy to answer it. Looking forward to sharing the information and helping others learn how to use these wonderful plugs to their maximum benefit.
