Vintage Rapala Husky Jerk 7, 1/4oz FT (Fire Tiger) fishing lure #24008

Dressed in the classic Fire Tiger (FT) pattern, this specimen showcases the vibrant contrast of neon greens and oranges typical of the Irish production era. This 1/4oz (7g) lure measures exactly 2 3/4" (7cm) and remains in top-tier 5/5 condition, showing no signs of use or wear. The Irish origin is a specific detail collectors look for, marking a distinct chapter in the brand's manufacturing timeline. As a neutral-buoyancy suspender, it is designed to hover in the water column at depths between 4-6ft (1.2 - 1.8 m), providing a steady presence during pauses in a 'stop and go' retrieve. The black vertical stripes are sharply defined against the gradient body, which is paired with a clear diving lip and standard hardware. Identified by product code 24008, this piece is a clean example of a foundational jerkbait design used for species ranging from perch to northern pike.
