Finnish Rapala Fat Rap 05, Tiger, 1/4 oz (7 g), Balsa, #24575

Wavy brown tiger stripes over a gold-to-silver flank define the visual character of this Finnish balsa crankbait. Sized at 2" (5 cm), the compact profile of the Fat Rap 05 is built for targeting perch or trout in shallow water. A weight of 1/4 oz (7 g) makes it a reliable choice for precise casting near cover or running a shallow trolling line. The metal lip is angled to keep the lure hunting in the 1/2–1 1/2 ft (0.2–0.5 m) range, providing the specific depth control found in these original Finnish production runs. An orange-tinted belly provides a sharp contrast to the metallic sides, a classic Rapala color scheme cataloged as tiger. This specimen, identified by Product Code 24575, shows light signs of honest use consistent with a 4/5 rating, maintaining its structural integrity and original hardware. Being a floating model, it offers versatility when navigating timber or weed edges where a pause allows the lure to rise away from snags.
