Rapala R90 90th Anniversary Lure Kit: “Big Naturistic” Trolling Collection

Legendary lures for the fish of a lifetime. At Gerry’s Fishing, we know that when it comes to trolling for trophy-sized Brown Trout, Ferox, or Salmon, nothing beats the natural vibration of balsa wood. To celebrate 90 years of angling excellence (1936–2026), Rapala has released the R90 “Big Naturistic” Kit. This is a premium selection of large-profile lures specifically curated for big-water trolling, where stealth and realistic movement are the keys to success.

This kit isn’t just about fishing; it’s about heritage. It features a retro-inspired classic, a legendary Finnish color pattern, and the cutting-edge Elite version of the world’s most famous lure. Whether you’re a collector or a hardcore boat angler, this kit represents the “Gold Standard” of wooden lure manufacturing.

The Anniversary Trio: Big-Water Specialists

This kit brings together three 11cm and 12cm powerhouses designed to entice specimen predators:

Limited Edition Floater 11cm – Gold Star Foil: A festive homage to Rapala’s earliest models. The star-patterned gold foil sides provide a unique, fragmented flash that mimics a large, struggling baitfish. This retro finish is a must-have for both the tackle box and the trophy cabinet.
Scatter Rap Minnow 11cm – Lapinkulta (“Gold of Lapland”): Featuring the “legendary” Lapinkulta color, this lure is a favorite for clear-water trout. The Scatter Lip design gives it an evasive, erratic action that mimics a baitfish trying to escape a predator—perfect for triggering following fish.
Floater Elite 12cm – Gilded Pearl Shad: The pinnacle of the R90 collection. This new-generation Floater Elite features a perfectly balanced body for high-speed trolling and the exclusive “Gilded Pearl Shad” finish, created specifically to honor Rapala’s 90-year legacy.

Exclusive Bonus: The kit also includes an unpainted balsa body, demonstrating the raw craftsmanship that goes into every hand-tuned and tank-tested Rapala lure.

Pro Tip from Gerry’s Fishing

The “S-Curve” Troll: When trolling these balsa lures, don’t just drive in a straight line. The Scatter Rap Minnow in this kit thrives on speed changes. Periodically steer the boat in a wide S-pattern. On the “inside” of the turn, the lure will slow down and rise slightly; on the “outside,” it will accelerate and kick erratically. This change in rhythm is exactly what causes a big, following Trout to strike.

Examples of Where to Use

Large Natural Lochs & Reservoirs: The 11cm and 12cm profiles are perfect for mimicking larger prey like Roach, Perch, or small Whitefish in deep, open water.
Clear, Sunny Days: Use the Lapinkulta (Gold of Lapland) pattern. Its warm, natural glow is designed to catch the sunlight without spooking wary fish in high-visibility conditions.
Overcast Mornings: The Gold Star Foil provides maximum reflection in low-light conditions, making it easier for predators to track your lure from a distance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What makes the Scatter Rap action different?

Unlike a standard lure that swims in a straight line, the Scatter Rap Minnow features a specialized lip that makes the lure “hunt” from side to side. It mimics the panicked, erratic movement of a baitfish, which is a massive strike trigger for predators like Salmon and Ferox Trout.

Is the Floater Elite 12cm suitable for high-speed trolling?

Yes. The Elite series is built with a modernized, balanced construction that allows it to remain stable even at higher trolling speeds where traditional balsa lures might “blow out” or spin.

Is this kit a limited production?

Absolutely. The R90 kits are a one-time release for 2026. Once they are gone, these specific colorways—especially the Gilded Pearl Shad and Gold Star Foil—will become highly sought-after collector’s items.

Can I use these for Pike as well?

While designed for big Trout, Pike absolutely love the 11cm-12cm profile. The balsa body is durable, and the wire-through construction of the Elite model ensures it can handle the pressure of a big “croc
