Museum Archive: ​Rapala X-RAP Shad Shallow , 1/3oz Clown fishing lure #14499

Diving to depths between 2-4ft (0.6 - 1.2m), the XRSH-6 model is specifically engineered for shallow water presentations where a suspending pause is critical. This specimen, identified by product code 14499, showcases the iconic Clown finish—a vibrant combination of a yellow body topped with a striking red head and white underbelly. Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm) and weighing 1/3oz (9g), the lure features a textured translucent body and internal holographic foil. Produced in Estonia, the construction includes a dressed rear treble hook with feathers and tinsel, a signature feature of the X-Rap series for visual attraction during casting or trolling. The lure remains in its original packaging and is unused, reflecting a condition of 6. The small, angled lip is characteristic of the shallow shad profile, intended to keep the bait in the upper water column for targeting perch and pike. Three-dimensional eyes and internal scales are visible through the finish, providing the technical detail expected from Rapala.
