Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Husky Jerk 6 , 3/16oz G fishing lure #23790

Gold-toned foil scales shimmer beneath a deep blue back on this Estonian-made suspending minnow. Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm) and weighing 3/16oz (6g), this specimen features the classic 'G' color pattern, complete with an orange strike point under the chin. The clear diving lip is designed to reach depths between 4ft (1.2 m) and 6ft (1.8 m), where the lure remains neutral in the water column during a pause. Labeled under product code 23790, its construction reflects the transition of manufacturing to Estonia while maintaining the high-quality standards collectors expect from the brand. The finish is remarkably clean, earning a condition rating of 5/5. Two sharp, dark-finished treble hooks are attached via sturdy split rings, ready for casting or trolling for species like zander, trout, and pike. Small details, such as the distinct yellow and black eyes and the textured scale pattern, highlight the precision of this specific model.
