Sorry if this has been covered already,but my local Walmart and others I have been to,have a bottom shelf box of Asst'd Rapala baits for $4.96 each. $5 for a crank seems a bit much,but compare some I have listed to a normal price of $8 or $9 and its really a bargain.

I went through the assortment and I found the following:

Countdown

Original

Minnow Rap in a good assortment of sizes and colors

Flat Rap in a good assortment of Sizes and Colors

Large Skitter Pops

DT Thugs with the Sureset hooks

DT-10 Cranks


There may be more,but those listed are what came to mind.


I bought the 4 DT 10 in Perch and the 4 DT Thugs in Charteuse/Brown back I found. A deal I couldnt pass up. So keep your eyes peeled on the bottom shelf where the $1.00 Spinnerbaits,and the $2.96 assorted Pradco (Rebel,Bomber,Cotton Cordell and Arbogast) Hardbaits for are located,the Rapala Treasure Box is right in there under the pegged Rapalas.

The label with the UPC for the $4.96 baits will read "Rapala Treasure Chest Asst." I mention this because im sure some regular pegged Rapalas will get dropped in the box,and personally id hate to go to the register with baits that fell off the pegs,mixed in with the $4.96 ones. Can get confusing ya know,when the price doesnt jive with whats advertised and such

My Wal-Mart has the Rapalas on sale too but they just have the huge ones in weird colors. Nothing that I would use unfortunately. They did have some nice Bombers on sale that I picked up though.

Yea my Walmart has the huge ones as well,but I dug around in the box and scored.

Didn't have time to look through the full box when I stopped in for something else Thursday... today the handful of remaining lures were striper plugs. Next time it's full I'm definitely looking for some countdowns. Thanks for the breakdown on the box contents.

This has been going on for months, $5 raps, $3 bombers, and in soft plastics are $2 Yums which are mostly creatures.

Best suggestion is: Each walmart is different so travel to other ones around you and you might find all the other clearance items like spinnerbaits going for $1-2, strike king skirted jigs for $1, etc

I have to warn you though, not every walmart has a set price for clearance, so they vary.

I dug through the Yum box and cleaned them out of senko rip offs and ribbon tails. The rest were lizards and other creature baits that just seem a little too out there for me.

Me too!!!! I saw the Rapala treasure chest and on top there were a bunch of magnum coutdowns but from past experience I dug through and low and behold...I found three Flat rap FLR10's in yellow perch, I thought it was a mistake but when I turned the box over it had the treasure chest tag on it! The Flat Raps don't get a lot of love, especially the larger ones but I really like them and they are hard to find especially in the yellow perch color, the reason is the flat rap on its own has a very subtle action, it is designed for anglers who are more experienced using jerkbaits and it shows as you can really make it move but it is up to the angler to do that. Anyway, at $4.96 for lures costing 9 bucks, I was all over it! I also saw a box of X-Rap XR10's that the lady told me was going to get taged for that box, they are the silver color and since they got a box full of that color by mistake they get tagged for the chest and I'm just waiting!

When I first saw the box, I was pretty shocked too, I picked up a thug, a dt6, a flat rap, and some giant popper that looked like it had been in some warehouse for a while.

I have hit that box a couple of times now, and today they din't have much. I scored a thug and a shad rap rs there before. What is left are some big striper minnows, I want them, but I also know no one else ever buys those. Eventually, they will mark them down to $2 and I'll get a couple.

Scored a couple DT THUGS out of the box. Also a Hot Pink Xrap Subwalk 07. WOW great deals.
