Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Husky Jerk 8, 3/16oz fishing lure #15758

A mirror-like silver chrome finish covers the sides of this Rapala Husky Jerk 8, transitioning into a deep black back and a vibrant red head. This particular specimen, identified by product code 15758, is a neutral-buoyancy suspender designed to hold its position in the water column at depths between 5-6 ft (1.5 - 1.8 m). Measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm) and weighing 3/16 oz (6 g), the lure is equipped with two dark-finished treble hooks. The clear diving lip bears the 'Ireland' mark, signifying its origin and era of production. Rated at a condition of 5/5, the lure appears exceptionally well-maintained with clear eyes and intact scaling patterns. Anglers typically utilize this model for casting or trolling when targeting pike, trout, or salmon, especially in environments where baitfish are schooling.
