Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Husky Jerk, 2/5oz Semi-Transparent / Orange / Green / Black Stripes fishing lure #0088

Measuring exactly 4 3/4" (12 cm) in length, this Finnish-made suspender is engineered to hold its position in the water column when paused. The semi-transparent body on this 0088 model reveals the internal rattling chambers and a holographic foil insert that catches light through the green-to-orange gradient. Weighing in at 2/5 oz (12 g), the construction includes three sharp black-nickel treble hooks and a clear diving lip designed for depths between 4ft (1.2 m) and 8ft (2.4 m). The color pattern features a bright orange underbelly transitioning into a translucent midsection, topped with a green back and classic black vertical stripes. You can clearly see the internal weighting system through the sides, a hallmark of Rapala’s precision engineering from Finland. This specimen remains in 5/5 condition, showing well-preserved hardware and a clean, glossy finish across the entire profile.
