BassFishingMachine Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Hey, I was at Gander Mountain today, and was buying a few small 2 1/2 inch Husky Jerks, since they are my go-to bait in the winter. Anyway, I went to buy a few and they were really low on stock. Most of the colors were colors I didn't like, although I did buy the last one of their gold/green color. I went over to the guy who works in the fishing department behind the counter, and asked when they'd be getting new stock in for the rapalas, specificly the Husky Jerks. He told me the Husky Jerks are going to be discontinued and they are not getting another stock of them in. Now maybe he doesn't know what hes talking about or somethin, but if this is true im in alot of trouble.. These lures are my all time favorite hard jerkbaits, and are pretty much the only true lure I can count on in this cold water situation. Do you think hes full of it? Or are they really being discontinued? Quote

The monkey says you should stock up on them just in case!!!! Quote
Ballpark Frank Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 The Husky Jerk and Original Floating are the lures that Rapala has been identified with for a long time. Yeah they have Shads, X-raps, DT's, and many others, but those two are classics. The Husky Jerk is my favorite jerkbait, it performs it's purpose well. Wait, I think I hear the BM calling. Yeah, just in case, I'm going to go pickup around 30 or so. Quote
Super User senile1 Posted March 3, 2008 Super User Posted March 3, 2008 As Burley's post shows, the Husky Jerk is still on Rapala's website. If the Husky Jerk, the original floater, or the Shad Rap were discontinued I think it would be getting rather cold in hell. Quote

fishnaddiction Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 hmm idk i really think they will not discontinue it they might slow down production but will not cut it out no way i really dont care i like the old rebel jerkbaits and the smithwicks so but they would have to be absolutely insane to discountinue one of there highest selling baits Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted March 3, 2008 Super User Posted March 3, 2008 yeah the husky jerks are way too classic to remove from production. youre safe. Quote
