Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Fat Rap, 1/3oz Orange fishing lure #7251

Orange tones on this vintage find transition from a deep red-orange head into a shimmering gold-pearlescent body. Weighing in at 1/3oz (8.8g), this classic Finnish-made Rapala Fat Rap, carrying product code 7251, features the signature yellow eyes with black centers that collectors prioritize. Measuring 2" (5cm) in length, its compact balsa construction is designed to reach depths of 6.5 - 14.8 ft (2 - 4.5 m) during casting or trolling sessions. This specific specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing off a clean finish characteristic of high-quality lures from Finland intended for pike, perch, or zander. The long, clear diving lip is firmly seated, paired with two original bronze-finished treble hooks. Being a floating model, it provides versatility in the water column when targeting salmon or trout.
