flipin4bass Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Actress Marilyn Monroe was found dead in August., 1962 and Monroe's story was featured on the cover of Life, the same mid-August issue that carried the Rapala story which was entitled "A Lure Fish Can't Resist." The Monroe issue was Life's best-selling all-time issue and the Original Rapala Minnow received unimaginable exposure. Within days Ron Weber and Ray Ostrom, partners of the young Normark Corporation, the only distributers of the Original Rapala Wobbler in North America, received three million orders for lure. The rest, as they say, is history. 2 Quote
