Lauri Rapala

Lauri Rapala (* 1905, † 1974) was a Finnish anglers. He developed in 1936 from a cork the first later named after him wobbler. From the tinfoil of cheese boxes and chocolate bars, he formed the outside of the fish bait. Since he had no paint available to obtain a protective layer, it melted unusable photographic negatives via the wobbler. His first Wobbler still exists today. This lure has a dark top, goldigfarbene edges and a lighter belly. Rapala wobblers are still the world's best wobblers. Rapala wobblers are made ​​of either balsa wood or plastic.

Rapala wobblers are currently sold in Europe from the company Shimano.
