Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Countdown S4, 1/8oz S (Silver) fishing lure #17241

A classic Silver (S) pattern defines the look of this balsa wood classic, featuring a dark gradient along the spine that fades into metallic sides. Crafted in Finland, this Rapala Countdown S4, cataloged under product code 17241, measures 1 1/2" (4cm) and is a staple for targeting trout, perch, or zander. The lure carries a weight of 1/8oz (4g), facilitating a controlled sink rate to reach a working depth of 3-6ft (0.9-1.8 m). Looking at the head, you'll find signature yellow eyes and a subtle red accent at the throat, situated just behind the clear plastic diving lip. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, retaining its original finish and structural integrity. It comes rigged with two bronze-finished treble hooks, suitable for casting or light trolling applications for species such as asp or chub.
