Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Down Deep Husky Jerk 10, 2/5oz fishing lure #7476

Originating from Ireland, this 10 cm (4") minnow features an oversized clear diving lip specifically designed to reach depths between 7 - 19 ft (2.1 - 5.8 m). The scales transition from a dark charcoal back to silvery-gold sides, punctuated by a distinctive red gill accent near the realistic yellow eyes. Weighing 11 g (2/5 oz), this 7476 model is a suspending lure, making it a reliable choice for both casting and trolling when targeting species like salmon, walleye, or trout. The build quality of this specimen is evident, earning a 5/5 condition rating with clean hardware and a clear, unmarred finish. Inside the body, a rattle chamber provides a specific sound profile as it moves through the water column. The line tie is positioned directly on the plastic diving plane, which helps maintain the steep diving angle required for deep-water presentations.
