Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Husky Jerk, 2/5oz Green / Yellow / Orange=Black Stripes fishing lure #0089

Vibrant green, yellow, and orange hues define the finish of this Finnish-made classic, accented by bold black stripes across the back. Equipped with a long, slender body measuring 4 3/4" (12 cm), this specific specimen weighs in at 2/5 oz (12 g). Identified by Product Code 0089, the construction features a neutral buoyancy that allows the lure to suspend in the water column during pauses. The clear plastic lip is engineered to reach depths between 4 ft (1.2 m) and 8 ft (2.4 m) depending on line tension. Looking at the exterior, the paint remains crisp and the hardware is bright, earning this piece a condition rating of 5/5. The underbelly is fitted with three sharp treble hooks secured by sturdy split rings. To enhance its underwater profile, an internal rattle chamber provides a distinct sound characteristic often sought after for deeper or stained water conditions.
