Ireland-made Rapalas like this 4 3/4" (12 cm) Husky Jerk are prized for their consistent build quality. This 1/2 oz (13 g) lure, product code 8012, features a suspending buoyancy that keeps it at depth during a pause in the retrieve. The color scheme is a classic contrast: a deep blue dorsal surface, shimmering gold scaled sides, and a bright orange belly. It is a rattle-equipped model, providing an acoustic element to the presentation when targeting zander or pike. The hardware consists of three sharp, dark trebles, and the overall condition is rated 5/5. Designed to reach depths of 4 ft (1.2 m) to 8 ft (2.4 m), the clear lip ensures stability whether you are trolling or using a stop-and-go casting method. The yellow-rimmed eyes sit prominently near the nose, completing a very clean aesthetic.
