Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala RAPALA CLACKIN’ MINNOW, 2/5oz Light Blue fishing lure #4452

A Light Blue gradient over a silver body defines the aesthetic of this Finnish-crafted specimen. Measuring 3 1/4" (8cm) and weighing 2/5oz (12.5g), the lure houses a specialized internal metal rattle chamber that provides a rhythmic sound during the retrieve. This model, product code 4452, is designed as a slow-sinking suspender for targeting pike, salmon, and large perch at depths between 3ft (0.9 m) and 4ft (1.2 m). A vibrant red splash under the throat provides a high-contrast strike point just behind the clear diving lip. The lure remains in 5/5 condition, featuring two original treble hooks and a preserved holographic finish inside the translucent scales. Casting or twitching this minnow profile allows the internal foil to catch light through the water column.
