Measuring exactly 4 3/4" (12 cm), this Finnish-made Rapala Husky Jerk 12 carries the classic Trout pattern with distinct red, blue, and black stippling over a pearlescent flank. Weighing in at 1/2 oz (13 g), this specimen cataloged under product code 12947 features a clear diving lip designed to reach depths between 3.9 and 7.9 feet (1.2 - 2.4 m). The build utilizes a neutral buoyancy design, allowing the lure to suspend in the water column during pauses in the retrieve for pike, perch, or zander. As a sound-producing model, it houses internal rattles that provide an acoustic signature during casting or trolling. The hardware includes three bronze-finished treble hooks, all showing a high degree of preservation consistent with its 5/5 condition rating. The paintwork on the head transitions from a dark back to a soft pinkish gill plate, and the clear lip is stamped with the manufacturer's hallmark.
