Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Husky Jerk 10, 1/3oz fishing lure #12839

A weight of 1/3 oz (10 g) paired with its 4" (10 cm) frame allows for precise handling whether you're casting into cover or setting up a trolling spread. This Rapala Husky Jerk 10, identified by product code 12839, features a distinctive color pattern with an olive-green top edge that blends into textured silver scales and a bright gold belly. Produced in Ireland, the lure shows the high-quality craftsmanship of its era, preserved in 5/5 condition with a clear, crisp diving lip. As a dedicated suspender, it is engineered to hold its position in the water column at depths of 5-7 ft (1.5 - 2.1 m). The hardware consists of two sharp, bronze-finished treble hooks, and the head is accented by a prominent black pupil within a yellow iris.
