January Saltwater Lure of the Month
Rapala Magnum Silver Mackerel
Happy New Year! 2013 is going to be a great year for fishing. This month's selection, the Rapala Countdown Magnum mackerel is (according to IGFA records), the world's best selling hard bodied saltwater lure. The best! More world record fish have been caught with these Rapalas than any other lure, which makes this lure "Your Best Shot at a World Record"! Rapala originally created the floating magnum in 1969 and were amazed by it's fish catching attraction of fish, specifically the silver blue mackerel color that was introduced in 1976. It was a lethal combination. In 1987, Rapala improved the model, and created a harder bodied saltwater lure that would more consistently dive to the required depths. This new change helped the lure to take off, and sales haven't looked back since.
The Magnum is made from tough, African Abachi wood and has salt water resistant VMC perma steel trebles. The metal lip, welded line tie and heavy duty split rings provide long life and premium performance. The Abachi wood allows the lure to swim true at any speed, cast or trolled. Built saltwater tough, the Magnum is build to take the abuse of Blues, Tarpon, Tuna, and Wahoo.
Tips to Fish:

- Use matching leaders, and snap locks, for safety
