    I feel like a fool and I’m disappointed in the education system.
    I’ve been using Rapalas since 1969 but I have been let down by the educators in teaching me the metric system. I’ve tyed on many size 7 gold floating rapalas over the years but my Math teachers never taught me that I was really using a 2 3/4″ shallow running minnow bait OR that I was really using a 7 cm floating minnow.
    Please feel free to reply if you did not KNOW that 7 centimeters determines the size of Findland’s greatest achievment!

    What’s a centimeter? Oh yeah, it’s what the rest of the world uses to measure it’s envy of how we live in America.

    Oops I always thought the 7 was the depth the lure runs at, guess I was way off
