Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Husky Jerk HJ 12, 2/5oz Red Head fishing lure #24386

Measuring 4 3/4" (12cm) in length, this Irish-made specimen highlights the classic Red Head pattern that remains a benchmark for effectiveness. Weighing in at 2/5oz (12g), the HJ 12 model is a dedicated suspender, engineered for techniques ranging from stop-and-go to trolling and twitching. The clear diving lip is designed to reach depths of 4ft (1.2m) to 8ft (2.4m), allowing for precise placement when targeting species like zander, perch, and pike. Identified by Product Code 24386, the lure features three balanced treble hooks and the iconic yellow-rimmed eyes synonymous with the brand's early production. The finish on this specific piece is remarkably clean, earning a condition rating of 5/5. Its internal rattle chamber provides a subtle acoustic profile during the retrieve.
