Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Husky 6, 3/32oz SB fishing lure #19185

The Silver Blue (SB) finish on this balsa wood minnow provides a classic metallic flash that collectors associate with the high-quality output of Rapala's Irish manufacturing period. Sized at 2 1/4" (6 cm) and weighing 3/32 oz (3 g), the Husky 6 is a floating model versatile enough for both casting and trolling setups. This specific lure, identified by product code 19185, is designed to reach depths between 1 ft (0.3 m) and 4 ft (1.2 m). Visually, the specimen is well-preserved, earning a 5/5 condition rating with its vibrant orange belly and crisp yellow eyes remaining remarkably clear. The hardware consists of two dark-finished treble hooks, securely rigged and ready for use. Its blue-to-gold gradient scale pattern remains a testament to the timeless aesthetic of vintage European tackle.
