Museum Archive: Rapala Husky Jerk 12, 1/2oz fishing lure #18633

At exactly 1/2 oz (13 g), the weight of this Rapala Husky Jerk 12 provides the necessary mass for long-distance casting and stable trolling. This specimen, identified by product code 18633, is finished in the classic Tennessee Shad (TSD) pattern, featuring a metallic scale texture over a warm orange underbelly and a muted green back. Measuring 4 3/4" (12 cm) in length, the lure remains in unused condition and comes preserved in its original packaging. Designed as a neutral buoyancy suspender, it is built to hang in the water column during pauses, effectively reaching diving depths between 4 ft (1.2 m) and 8 ft (2.4 m). The internal rattle chamber produces a specific sound signature intended to attract pike, zander, and perch. Assembled in Estonia, the construction allows for versatility across twitching and stop-and-go techniques.
