Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Fat Rap 3, 1/8oz fishing lure #22237

A weight of 1/8oz (4g) makes this Finnish-made Rapala a classic choice for light tackle enthusiasts targeting species like perch, chub, or asp. The DTFS (Dark Tan Foil Scales) color pattern features a deep brown back with distinct darker vertical bars that transition into shimmering silver-gold foil sides and a bright orange belly. This sinking Mini Fat Rap 3 measures exactly 1 1/4" (3 cm) and is specifically designed for casting techniques. On the clear diving lip, you will find the molded Rapala Finland stamp, a hallmark of its manufacturing heritage. This specimen, carrying product code 22237, is in 5/5 condition, maintaining clean hardware and its original finish. It is constructed to reach depths between 3 ft (0.9 m) and 6 ft (1.8 m) when fished. The yellow eyes with sharp black pupils provide a stark point of contrast against the dark head of the lure.
