Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Bx Minnow, 2/5oz Perch fishing lure #6621

Ireland-manufactured lures like this specimen highlight the quality found in the BX series, which pairs a responsive balsa core with a durable copolymer outer shell. At 10 cm (4") in length and 12 g (2/5 oz) in weight, the lure is balanced for effective casting and twitching techniques. The Perch color scheme presents a classic natural look, featuring dark vertical bands over a gold-flecked green back and a vibrant orange belly. This specific item, cataloged under product code 6621, remains in 5/5 condition with its hardware and finish appearing remarkably clean. It is engineered to work at a depth range of 3 ft to 5 ft (0.9 m to 1.5 m), making it a focused choice for pike in medium-depth water. The belly is stamped with the Rapala logo and the model designation, BX Minnow 10, confirming its identity for any collection.
