I call it RA-PALA too... but then I guess its a po-tay-toe vs po-tar-toe thing...
Unless the founder of Rapala corrects you otherwise, its fair to say its pronounced either way.
I remember a girl I used to work with gets soooo annoyed when people pronounce her name incorrectly, and it happens very often too.
Unfortunately everyone then did it on purpose just to get her on her nerves...but she was right to have corrected us as her name is hers and she is the only one that decides how it is to be pronounced.
I'm happy to have got so much insights from all of you to the names of these fish we're catching at our lakes.
