Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Down Deep Husky Jerk DHJ10, 2/5oz RT fishing lure #23819

Spanning depths from 7 to 19 feet (2.1 – 5.8 m), the oversized diving lip on this Down Deep Husky Jerk DHJ10 makes it a specialized tool for reaching deep-dwelling predators. This specific specimen features the RT (Rainbow Trout) finish, characterized by a soft pink lateral line and blue parr marks over a reflective silver base. Weighing 2/5 oz (11g) and measuring 4" (10cm) in length, the lure is a neutral-buoyancy suspender designed to hold its position when the retrieve is stopped. Produced in Ireland, this model carries the Product Code 23819 and maintains an excellent 5/5 condition. The internal rattle chamber adds an acoustic element for targeting zander, pike, and salmon in low-visibility conditions. Two original treble hooks are attached via sturdy split rings, ready for casting or trolling applications.
