Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Rattl'n RAP , 2/5oz fishing lure #9783

Silver scales and a distinct red-to-yellow lateral line define the finish of the 9783 Rapala Rattl'n RAP, which originates from the brand's production era in Ireland. At 2" (5 cm) in length, the lipless body features a flat head designed to work at variable depths depending on the retrieval speed. This specimen weighs 2/5 oz (11 g) and is fitted with two dark-finished treble hooks that reflect the high-quality components used during its manufacture. The eyes are a bright yellow with a black center, set against a realistic gill plate design with a subtle dark shoulder spot. It serves as a versatile tool for targeting species like perch, zander, and pike through either casting or trolling. The overall state of the lure is rated 5/5, presenting a very clean surface with no visible wear on the hardware or the detailed paintwork.
