Lauri Rapala
Lauri Rapala (1905, Sysmä – 1974), Finland, was 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 four children. He created one of the first artificial fishing lures in 1936, which later became the Original Floater, a lure for which he would be made somewhat famous.
== Early life ==
Born in Sysmä, Lauri Rapala shared his home with evergreen forests and hundreds of lakes. At the age of seven, his mother Mari and he moved to the parish of Asikkala, around 60 miles from Helsinki. The clergymen at the parish could not remember Mari's surname, Saarinen, and so he simply put it as Rapala, the village in Sysmä Municipality from which they had moved. The Finnish word 'Rapa' means "mud." Finnish children of this time were generally put to work as soon as they became capable, and Lauri did the same.
Lauri met Elma Leppänen when he was in his 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. They had five sons, Reino, Risto, Ensio, Esko, and Kauko.
