Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Husky Jerk 10, 1/3oz TSD fishing lure #19026

A weight of 1/3 oz (10 g) provides the foundation for this Rapala Husky Jerk 10, a lure specifically engineered to suspend neutrally in the water column during pauses. Measuring 4" (10 cm) in length, this specimen features the TSD color pattern, characterized by a shimmering green-scaled back that blends into gold sides and a vibrant yellow-orange underside. The clear diving lip, which carries the Rapala brand stamp, enables the lure to operate at depths of 4.9–6.8 ft (1.5–2.1 m) whether cast or trolled. Originating from Finland, this model includes an internal rattle system that produces a distinct acoustic profile during a uniform or stop-and-go retrieve. The factory hardware consists of two darkened treble hooks attached with robust split rings. This particular item, product code 19026, is unused and retains its original luster and sharp paint transitions across the body. It is a technical tool designed for targeting species like pike, zander, and trout.
