Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Down Deep Husky Jerk DHJ10, 2/5oz fishing lure #23746

Purple hues along the spine of this Irish-made deep diver transition into a vibrant red belly, accented by distinct dark vertical bars. This Rapala Down Deep Husky Jerk DHJ10, carrying product code 23746, is a technical suspending lure weighing 2/5 oz (11 g) and measuring 4" (10 cm) in length. Its oversized diving lip is engineered to reach depths of 7 - 19 ft (2.1 – 5.8 m), making it a formidable choice for both casting and trolling applications. The internal rattle chamber provides a rhythmic sound profile specifically designed to trigger strikes from salmon, zander, and pike in deeper water columns. This specific specimen remains in unused condition, earning a 5/5 rating, and features the crisp, white eyes characteristic of this production era. The hardware is comprised of two original treble hooks mounted on sturdy split rings, ready for the water or a collector's display case.
