Birthday celebrations
104 years of independance on Monday 6.12.2021
In honour of our big day we have set up a cavalcade of Finnish outdoor treats of some of our favourite Finnish brands out of our selection.
There is a little bit of everything to cater different interests. The list is long and full of legends. It is wonderful to see and realize how much good stuff is innovated here up North.
Next Monday, December 6, 2021, our whole team will celebrate Finland's independance, which means that the store will be closed for the day.
Otherwise we are open normally on weekdays from 10 am to 8 pm, on Saturdays from 10 am to 6 pm and on Sundays from 12 pm to 6 pm.
Kuusamon Uistin publishes annually their legendary Jubilee spoon. This is a long-awaited event for fishermen, fisherwomen and fisherpeople. Every year you think you have seen the best yet - and so it has happened this year as well.
The 2022 Trout Super is made of a special scaly pattern that makes the light refract around the lure in a very unique way. The loose flap in the middle changes the lure's normal swimming routine, causing fish to get irritated and hit the lure.
To add shine, the Jubilee spoon is plated with 24 carat gold.

True story:
In 1905, a boy was born into the poor Saarinen -family in southern Finland and was given the name Lauri. In 1912 however, the young man was incorrectly entered in the church books under the surname Rapala. Thus began the story of the legendary lure master.
Lauri made his first lure with his personal puukko -knife in 1936. He got the idea for a cork wobbler from an American lure. In the clear-waters of Päijänne, Lauri noticed the interest of predatory fish in the wobbling floating like, wounded-looking fish, which often turned out to be very catchy. The word about Rapala's first wobbler spread quickl, and soon Lauri got to carve lures on the shelf the local convenience store.
Rapala's success in America was partly because of his great skills and partly sheer luck. Life Magazine had been talking about a modest and quiet Finnish lure maker. The story ended with a number on the cover of the just-deceased Marilyn Monroe. So a few million people saw and heard about young mister Rapala on that side as well.
