Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Husky Jerk 7, 1/4oz TSD fishing lure #23881

Tipping the scales at 1/4oz (7g), this Rapala Husky Jerk 7 originates from the brand's notable production era in Ireland. The TSD color scheme on this 2 3/4" (7cm) specimen displays a striking translucent quality, paired with dark vertical bars across a green and gold body that fades into a vibrant orange underside. Labeled with product code 23881, the lure is a dedicated suspender, allowing it to maintain a constant depth during a stop-and-go retrieve without sinking or surfacing. It is designed to operate in a strike zone of 3.9ft to 5.9ft (1.2 - 1.8 m), making it a versatile choice for both casting and trolling. The physical condition is excellent, rated at 5/5, featuring original hardware and a clear, well-preserved diving lip. This specific iteration is a classic example of Rapala’s neutral-buoyancy engineering, intended to stay suspended exactly where the angler halts the retrieve.
