Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Fat Rap, 1/3oz Orange fishing lure #6753

Crafted in Finland, the 2" (5 cm) balsa profile of this deep-diver is designed to reach depths of 6.5 ft to 14.8 ft (2 - 4.5 m). The matte orange finish of this Rapala Fat Rap, identified by product code 6753, is punctuated by large yellow and black painted eyes on the head. This specimen carries a condition rating of 3/5, specifically noting a small dent and a slight break in the outer film located near the tail treble hook. Its clear, elongated plastic lip is built for casting or trolling for species such as pike, zander, and salmon. Weighing 1/3 oz (8.8 g), the lure retains its original belly and tail hooks, which show a touch of age from its history in a tackle box. This Finnish-made 5 cm model represents a classic era of Rapala's deep-running lure design.
