Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Countdown, 2/5oz Silver fishing lure #4058

Balsa wood provides the structural foundation for the Rapala Countdown, which measures 3 1/2" (9cm) in length. Finished in a textured Silver foil, the lure carries Product Code 4058 and weighs 2/5oz (12g). The color scheme features a dark back and a subtle red detail at the chin area, paired with yellow eyes that stand out against the metallic sides. Anglers utilize the sinking nature of this model to target depths ranging from 1ft to 13ft (0.3 - 3.9 m) while casting or trolling for species like pike, perch, and zander. Originating from Finland, the specimen remains in 5/5 condition, showing clean hardware and a clear, securely attached diving lip.
