Museum Archive: Rapala Husky Jerk HJ 14, 2/3oz Yellow Perch fishing lure #7498

Five and a half inches (14 cm) in length, this Husky Jerk is finished in the timeless Yellow Perch palette, a staple for anglers targeting predator species. Identified by Product Code 7498, the HJ 14 model weighs 2/3 oz (18 g) and is a rattling, suspending minnow that holds its position in the water column when the retrieve is paused. This specific lure is unused, showcasing the vibrant yellow-to-green gradient and dark vertical bars characteristic of the perch pattern. It is designed to work within a depth range of 4 - 8 ft (1.2 - 2.4 m), making it effective for casting or trolling. Assembled in Estonia, the construction features the internal rattle chamber and quality hardware expected from the brand. The original packaging even retains a vintage retail security sticker from Dick's Sporting Goods, documenting its path from the sporting goods shelf.
