BASS302 Posted November 19, 2016 Posted November 19, 2016 A long time ago (when I was in college), I used a Rapala Fat Rap FR-7 quite a bit. I only have a couple left (in my tackle box - the rest are in various lakes) and I see at the Rapala site that they only make the smaller FR-5 now. Does anybody know an equivalent lure for the FR-7? The FR-7 body is 2 3/4 inches long, about an inch at the widest part. The bill is about 1 inch long. I'm not sure how deep it dives. The lure doesn't have to be balsa wood, and needs to be affordable (less than $10). Quote

Super User scaleface Posted November 22, 2016 Super User Posted November 22, 2016 Ive been using Fat Raps for a long time and never had a FR7 . Quote
jr231 Posted November 22, 2016 Posted November 22, 2016 Sadly. Nothing can replace the fat rap for me lol. Rapala and bomber are my favorite. The model A is killer. But slightly different action and profile than the fat rap. 1 Quote
