Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Down Deep Rattlin Fat Rap 05, 2/5oz fishing lure #23279

Gold scales and a distinct black lateral spot define the visual profile of this Irish-made Down Deep Rattlin Fat Rap 05. Reaching depths of 30ft (9 m+), the lure features a large clear lip stamped with both the brand and model name, cataloged under Product Code 23279. The 2/5 oz (11 g) weight and 2" (5 cm) body house an internal rattle chamber designed to emit sound during a deep-water retrieve. A dark olive back transitions into the metallic gold sides, accented by red highlights around the throat area. Maintaining a 5/5 condition, the specimen shows no wear on its finish or the original treble hooks. This design is specifically weighted for deep-structure casting or trolling applications.
