Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Husky Jerk 10, 1/3oz GPP fishing lure #19085

Purple vertical bars contrast against the iridescent lavender back of this 10 cm (4") Estonian-made jerkbait. Finished in the GPP color pattern, this Rapala Husky Jerk 10 features a warm reddish-pink belly and a translucent diving lip. Carrying the Product Code 19085, the 10 g (1/3 oz) body is built as a suspender, meaning it holds its position in the water column during pauses in a steady or stop-and-go retrieve. It is designed to reach depths of 1.5 to 2.1 m (4.9 to 6.9 ft), making it a versatile choice for trolling or casting for predators like pike, perch, and various salmonids. The specimen is in excellent 5/5 condition, showing no signs of use on its finish or its dual treble hook hardware. An internal rattle chamber provides a sonic element to its presence in the water.
