CHANGES IN THE DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS BETWEEN RAPALA VMC CORPORATION AND SHIMANO EUROPE BV


Rapala VMC Corporation ("Rapala") and Shimano Europe B.V. ("Shimano"), together (“The Parties”), have agreed to terminate various distribution agreements between the Parties in some European countries and South-Africa.

The Parties have agreed to terminate the distribution of Shimano-, G-Loomis- and PowerPro-branded fishing tackle products (“Shimano Products”) in France, Switzerland, Spain and Portugal effective July 1, 2020. Until this date, the respective Rapala distribution companies, fully owned and controlled by Rapala, will continue to distribute Shimano Products on an exclusive basis in these four markets. This means that the business will continue as usual until the date referred above and local Rapala distribution companies will be responsible for business on exclusive basis.

At the same time The Parties have agreed to terminate the distribution of Shimano Products in Finland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Greenland, Iceland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and South Africa effective October 1, 2020. Until this date, the respective Rapala distribution companies, fully owned and controlled by Rapala, will continue to distribute Shimano Products on an exclusive basis in all of these markets. This means that the business will continue as usual until the date referred above and local Rapala distribution companies will be responsible for the business on exclusive basis.

At the same time The Parties have agreed to terminate the distribution of Rapala-, Storm- and Dynamite-branded fishing tackle products in Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and Italy effective April 1, 2019. At the same time distribution of Rapala- and Storm-branded products in the United Kingdom and Dynamite-branded products in Turkey by Shimano will end. Until this date, the respective Shimano distribution companies, fully owned and controlled by Shimano, will continue to distribute these Rapala Group -branded fishing tackle products on an exclusive basis in all of these markets. 

There will be no change in the distribution agreements regarding Shimano- or Rapala Group-branded products in Rapala controlled jointly owned distribution companies in Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Kosovo, Bosnia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Bulgaria, Albania and Moldova. Accordingly, there is no change in the structure and operations of the Rapala Shimano East Europe Oy and Normark Hungary Ltd -subgroup’s, which are jointly owned by Rapala and Shimano.

In year 2017 Rapala Group’s sales of Shimano Products in the countries where the distribution agreement will terminate, as referred above, was some 26 MEUR, representing ca. 10 % of Rapala Group’s total sales. Year 2018 sales figures will be disclosed as part of announcing 2018 annual accounts.

"We have been partners with Shimano for more than 26 years, but the world is changing. It has been agreed by Rapala and Shimano that in the countries referred above, it is better for both companies to control their own brands. While our partnership with Shimano will continue in the jointly owned distribution companies, we are sorry to see Shimano going their own way in several countries. At the same time this opens us several new opportunities. The large European markets which have been previously handled by Shimano will in the future be directly fully controlled by Rapala. We are already selling Rapala Group-branded rods and reels in some countries and we will intensify and accelerate the development of this category in the future. The separation from Shimano will also enable us to consider approaching the rod and reel category strategically on global basis”, says Jussi Ristimäki, President and CEO of Rapala VMC Corporation.

    • Man hittar dem exempelvis här: https://jiggar.nu/tillbehor/trekrokar/bkk-spear-21-ss-uvo.html
    • Fick tag på ett helt gäng superfina BKK-krokar jag ska testa till havsöringsfisket i vår. Sjukt bra UV färg på krokarna och självklart sylvassa. Ser fram lite extra mot havsöingssäsongen nu👌🏻
    • Du behöver ett sjökort. Navionics + eller Navionics Platinum+ för det området där du befinner dig.
    • Hej! Är det någon som vet hur jag får en karta på gps funktionen?   Som det är nu så är "kartan" bara gul och den blå pilen åker runt där. Hur gör jag för att få en karta?
    • Finns ju mycket bra. Tror både Berkleys och Rapalas vågar är godkända för registrering numera. Har och gillar båda
    • Försöker hitta en bra fiskevåg men är ny till fiskevärlden och undrar om ni kan komma med tips. Har läst denna guiden https://webbkollen.se/basta-fiskevagen-bast-i-test/ men vill ha flera bra alternativ att välja mellan
    • Idag fick jag äntligen hem min Mega Live givare. ska se om jag kan montera den imorgon och åka ut på en provtur. Återkommer med bild och film.
    • Jag noterade samma problem efter årets säsong. Tyckte jag upplevde lite skakningar under hummerfisket mot slutet av säsongen som jag inte känt tidigare och kom ihåg din kommentar. Mycket riktigt hade även jag fått sprickbildning där. Jag påtalade problemet till Kode marin där jag köpt båten. Problemet löstes enkelt med några svetsningar och det hanterades som ett kostnadsfritt garantiärende via Ockelbo Boats.
    • Humminbird APEX anländer till Sverige i januari. Den stora skillnaden mot Solix är att man får ett snabbare lod med ljusstarkare och klarare full HD skärm med 1920x1080 upplösning. Man byter även till en bredare skärm, från 16:10 (Solix) till 16:9 format på nya APEX loden. Skärmarna utrustas även med HDMI ut/in vilket gör att man kan ansluta i stort sett vad som helst med HDMI stöd till skärmen. Apex kan även nätverkas med Solix och den stödjer samma MSI+ givare som passar till exempelvis en Solix G2/G3. Man behöver alltså inte riva ut gamla givaren på båten om man uppgraderar. Läs mer här: https://www.comstedt.se/innovativ-teknik/humminbird/apex och här: https://www.comstedt.se/produkt-kategori/gps-plotter-och-ekolod/apex Den riktigt stora nyheten 2021 kommer utan tvekan bli Humminbirds nya Mega Live Imaging givare som stödjer lod från Helix G3N MSI+ till samtliga Solix och APEX. Mega live kommer visa en 140 graders vy i realtid med Mega+ upplösning. I praktiken borde det här ge en oöverträffad realtidsbild över fisken man fiskar efter. Givaren anländer till Sverige under mars/april och är i dagsläget prissatt till 20 995kr inkl moms för svenska marknaden. Information om Mega Live Imaging läkte ut i USA för några dagar sen och fram till Humminbird kommer med en officiell pressrelease är det det här vi har att gå på.

    • Hi @Karvik I actually upgraded from the Riptide Terrova BT IP-Link 80lb 60'' 24V to an Ulterra Riptide BT IP-Link 80lb 60'' 24V in the beginning of this summer. https://www.comstedt.se/produkt/riptide-ulterra-bt-ip-link I fish anything from shallow waters in the fjords to more off shore with higher waves. In my opinion 60'' is enough for the the Ockelbo B18CC. If the weather should require more I don't think you want to be out fishing anyway?  I would say that an 80lb MinnKota Ulterra or 80lb Terrova 24V will hold my Ockelbo B18CC steady in winds up to around 14-15 m/s depending on how strong current you have in the water. If I want to continue a drift towards the wind in 1 knot it usually gets tougher when the wind is blowing around  10-12 m/s. That's if I get the wind and the current straight towards the drift. I currently uses two of the 115AMP batteries in this link:  https://www.comstedt.se/produkt/tudor-dual-batteri-80-115-ah I also use a RAM mount to fix the engine firmly to the boat when I want to go faster and the weather is tough: https://www.comstedt.se/produkt/ram-kompl-faste-elmotor-c-kula   My thoughts about the Upgrade from the Terrova to an Ulterra. The Ulterra is an amazing engine and it makes me so much more effective and it makes my fishing more easy to manage. I use my boat for guided tours as well and this is one of the best upgrades that I have done to the boat. If you have tried the Ulterra there is no way back in my opinion. Its so easy to handle the Ulterrra engine. To change the depth of the engine or to make it go in or out of the water.
