Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Fat Rap, 2/5oz Silve Blue fishing lure #9871

Tipping the scales at 2/5 oz (11g), this Finnish-made deep-diving crankbait showcases the density and craftsmanship of high-quality balsa wood. This Rapala Fat Rap, identified by product code 9871, measures 2" (5cm) and sports a brilliant Silver Blue finish. The chrome-mirrored body is paired with a blue back and a red accent at the throat, while the oversized yellow eyes provide a high-contrast visual profile. Its translucent yellow diving lip is engineered for reaching depths of 6.5 to 14.7 ft (2.0 - 4.5 m), making it a versatile tool for both casting and trolling. Optimized for species such as salmon, perch, and zander, the lure remains in excellent condition, rated 5/5. The original treble hooks and hardware are intact, reflecting the precision typical of vintage Finnish manufacturing.
