How do you pronounce Rapala?

I’m 50% Finnish and my Grandpa has always said “Rap” ala not Ruh paul a.

I get the sense this is a Teva thing... the vast majority of people have the wrong pronunciation.

Ruh (the same sound as the ru in run) - Paul - Uh

Potato? Potatoe? Tomato? Tomatoe?

I didn’t know this until I got to college and a Jewish friend was like... dude no...

How Do You Pronounce Teva?

Teva is pronounced TEH-VAH, with a soft "e." Teva is the Hebrew word for nature.

This is sort of shattering my worldview.

I feel like we are getting into the territory of those sick and twisted people who say "these data".

5 more members that can fish with this Minnesootaan!

I’ve always pronounced it Rap-ah-la as I started fishing with the the lipless “Rattle Raps” as my aunts and uncles called them. Rapala came from the “raps” part for my worldview. Haha! Proud of these Minnesoootan roots.
