So what’s the deal? Last year found many in a panic because Rapala was discontinuing their clown color, now I see it offered in the new Cabela’s Walleye catalog. Anybody know if they changed the lure or changed their minds about discontinuing the color altogether?

Anybody know where I can find some Viking Purple?
Are you reading this Blue Fleck?March 8, 2003 at 6:06 pm #254028I have no recollection of the color in mention. I do know however of a certain purple that works real well on jigging raps.
Ok, Ok, I give up. It is called Napoleonic Violet. NO JOKE! It works. There you have it, my secret color. After all these years, I can’t beleive I just gave up my favorite color. Anything to help my fellow angler and educate the masses. Good luck to all.BF
