Museum Archive: Rapala Husky Jerk 8, 3/16oz Silver Blue fishing lure #11789

Silver Blue foil patterns under a translucent shell define the aesthetic of this 3 1/4" (8 cm) Rapala Husky Jerk 8. Weighing in at 3/16 oz (6 g), this specific model (product code 11789) was manufactured in Estonia and remains unused, preserved in its original HJ-8 marked packaging that shows some shelf wear from storage. As a neutral buoyancy suspending minnow, it is weighted to hold at a swimming depth of 4' - 6' (1.2 - 1.8 m) when the retrieve is paused. The construction utilizes high-quality hardware, including two sharp treble hooks positioned for both casting and trolling applications. This specimen's scale pattern and light-reflecting properties are specifically tailored for targeting pike, zander, or trout in varied water conditions.
