Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Fat Rap FR 7, 1/2oz fishing lure #13332

Tipping the scales at 1/2 oz (14 g), the model 13332 features a classic balsa body finished in a striking black and silver pattern. The 2 3/4" (7 cm) frame is accented by a vibrant red throat and a distinct black lateral spot on each side. A clear plastic lip, stamped with the series branding, allows the lure to dive between 6.5 ft and 14.8 ft (2 - 4.5 m) during a steady retrieve. Maintaining a 5/5 condition rating, this specimen shows well-preserved hardware, including two belly-mounted treble hooks. While the clear lip reflects the traditional design heritage, the specific manufacturing data lists this unit as being produced in Ireland. These deep-running lures are highly effective when trolling for pike or casting for suspended zander and large perch. The large yellow eyes with black pupils serve as a high-contrast strike point against the metallic silver flanks.
