Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Flat Jig 7, 3/5oz FCLN fishing spoon #20318

Tipping the scales at 3/5 oz (16 g), this Finnish-made metal balance jig is a staple for deep-water vertical presentations. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm), the Rapala Flat Jig 7 features the distinct FCLN color pattern, characterized by a bright fluorescent chartreuse back over a silver textured scale finish on the sides. A bold orange-red accent highlights the nose, while the yellow-tinted clear plastic tail fin provides the necessary surface area for controlled descent. This specific specimen, bearing product code 20318, comes from a lineage of ice fishing tools designed to reach deep strike zones quickly. The hardware includes two fixed single hooks integrated into the body and a belly-mounted treble hook. Its condition is a respectable 3/5, showing signs of use that speak to its history on the ice while maintaining its structural integrity. Designed for variable depths, it is a heavy-duty choice when targeting walleye or perch in deeper columns.
