Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Down Deep Husky Jerk DHJ10, 2/5oz Rainbow Trout fishing lure #23994

Measuring 4" (10 cm) in length, this deep-diving specimen is finished in a classic Rainbow Trout pattern that captures the subtle pink and blue hues of the species. Produced in Ireland, the lure features a substantial clear diving lip engineered to reach depths between 7 - 19 ft (2.1 - 5.8 m) during trolling or casting. This specific Rapala Down Deep Husky Jerk DHJ10, listed under product code 23994, weighs 2/5 oz (11 g) and includes an internal rattle chamber for added sound. Its slender body is designed for neutral buoyancy, allowing it to suspend in the water column when the retrieve is paused. The hardware remains in 5/5 condition, with two bronze-finished treble hooks showing no signs of use against the scale-patterned finish.
