Timeline

1939

When the World War II broke out in Europe in 1939, shortages arose, and Rapala began making his lures from tree bark. During the war, his lure achieved some promotion. Dynamite was sometimes used to obtain fish, but Rapala said his lure would produce more fish. He and his friends had a contest, and he outfished what had been "caught" with dynamite, catching 78 fish in a few hours.

1928

Rapala met Elma Leppänen when he was in his early twenties, and they married in 1928. They lived in her parents' house in Riihilahti until 1933. Europe's economy was in a downturn during this period, and it worsened as the effects of the Great Depression in America arrived in Europe. He worked as a lumberjack during the winter, and farmer's hand or commercial fisherman in summer. Lauri and Elma had seven children; five sons (Reino, Risto, Ensio, Esko, and Kauko) and two daughters (Marja and Irja).

1905

Lauri Rapala (1905–1974) was a Finnish fisherman, inventor and the founder of Rapala-Normark Group, the world's largest fishing lure and tackle producer. He died in 1974 at the age of 69. During the course of his life, he married once and fathered seven children. He created one of the first artificial fishing lures in 1936, which later became known as the Original Floater, a lure for which he would be made somewhat noted.
