Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Glass Shad Rap, 3/16oz Perch fishing lure #1250

Finished in a translucent Perch pattern, this Finnish-made lure utilizes a see-through body to capture and reflect light through an internal holographic foil. The long, clear diving lip on the Glass Shad Rap, product code 1250, is designed to reach depths between 7-11 ft (2.1-3.3 m). Weighing 3/16 oz (5.5 g) with a total length of 2" (5 cm), the specimen features a vibrant orange belly and distinct vertical dark stripes. Two sharp black nickel treble hooks are attached, and the overall state of the lure earns a 5/5 condition rating. This series reflects Rapala's transition toward using glass-like finishes to enhance visual appeal while maintaining the classic profile developed in Finland.
