Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Husky Jerk 7, 1/4oz GP fishing lure #24434

Weighing 1/4oz (7g), this specimen features the iconic GP (Green Perch) pattern characterized by a bright orange belly and gold-flecked sides. This 2 3/4" (7cm) Husky Jerk 7, bearing product code 24434, is a suspending model built to reach depths of 4-6 ft (1.2-1.8 m). The Ireland-made lure shows off vertical perch bars across a green back, with fine scale-like detailing along the midsection. A clear diving lip is set into the head, facilitating its neutral buoyancy which allows the lure to hang stationary in the water column during a pause. Two original, clean treble hooks are attached, and the overall appearance of the lure is well-preserved, warranting a 5/5 condition score. It is typically employed for casting or trolling when targeting species such as pike, walleye, and sea trout.
