Museum Archive: Rapala Countdown CD7 (Finland), 1/4oz S (Silver) fishing lure #22176

A classic silver foil finish wraps this Finnish-made body, providing that signature flash associated with the S color code. Sinking through the water column, this specimen is weighted at 1/4 oz (8 g) and measures 2 3/4" (7 cm). It is designed to work at depths between 5 - 8 ft (1.5 - 2.4 m), allowing for precise depth control when targeting trout, perch, or pike. This particular lure, carrying product code 22176, is unused and remains in the original box with its technical papers. The visual contrast is defined by a dark back over the silver scales and a small red accent at the throat. Both original treble hooks are present and clean, mounted on the belly and tail. Suitable for both casting and trolling, this lure represents the era of Rapala production where hand-tuned consistency was the standard in Finland.
