Here is the best I have for you. I know codes as follows-P-PERCH GYP-GOLD YELLOW PERCH RT-RAINBOW TROUT G-GOLD CHB-CHROME BLUE AND S-SILVER. This is from memory from using DHJ's for softwater trolling but most are the same color codes are the same. GL-usually indicates glass or a clear effect usually with a light paint to it. Let me know if I can help further. Hope it can help

Would you be interested in splitting them? I'd go 50/50 for half.

Most baits I have come across for ice that have a GL code stands for glow. If you get a GLR or GLB it would be glow red or glow blue.

Tim, Like I said the color codes were from memory. After thinking further and being 80 miles away from our trolling gear, you would be correct. GMN for example would be glass minnow and GPP and Glass Purple Perch. Again just from memory and trying to remember what color is what. But none the less, it was a start. But yes, infact, gl is glow for rapala. Between all the crazy reef runner names and the rapala names, you could have a class on them. Thanks for pointing out my error. ER
BTW has anyone tried the new snap rap's???? Wondering how much different they are from the regular jigging rap's, in the way of action.

Yes, snap raps are awesome! I posted a video on this site. Just do a search for snap rap.

@erierider. I feel your pain. I am use to a lot of the saltwater trolling spoons and rig code letters. The only reason I remembered that was because I was just looking thru all my jigging raps just 2 days ago. If they would just make the coding system universal thru out all of the industry it would make it much simpler. I use to use a lot of calcutta reef runner and bomber lures and most are the same but some are different. It would screw me up when I would call the shop to reorder baits and I give them a code for one brand and didnt get what I want because it was different then what I wanted. It could be frustrating sometimes. lol ???
