Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Fat Rap FR 4, 1/4oz Fire Tiger fishing lure #10906

Fire Tiger coloration, featuring a teal-blue spine and vibrant orange-tinted belly, defines this Rapala Fat Rap FR 4. Weighing in at 1/4oz (7g) with a length of 1 1/2" (4cm), the balsa construction remains a testament to Finnish lure-making history. This specific specimen, identified by product code 10906, is in 5/5 condition, retaining its bright finish and original hardware. Designed as a floating crankbait suitable for both casting and trolling, it is engineered to reach depths of 1ft to 5ft (0.3 - 1.5 m). The clear diving lip is stamped with the brand's origin, and the lure is rigged with its sharp treble hooks. Collectors will notice the bold black tiger stripes that sweep across the upper half of the body, contrasting sharply against the neon yellow flanks. Its compact profile is often utilized when targeting species such as perch, pike, or zander.
