Resting on a classic balsa wood body, the vibrant Fire Tiger pattern features a dark green back transitioning into yellow sides and a bright orange belly, accented by bold vertical bars. This Rapala Jointed J-11, identified by product code 12032, represents a well-preserved example of Irish production craftsmanship. At 4 1/4" (11 cm) in length and weighing 1/3 oz (9 g), the lure is equipped with a clear plastic lip designed to reach depths of 4 ft to 8 ft (1.2 m to 2.4 m). The dual-section construction is joined by robust metal loops, paired with two sharp treble hooks that show very little sign of age. Yellow eyes with distinct black pupils provide a focal point on the head section. Rated at 5/5 for condition, the finish remains bright and the balsa construction is structurally sound for both casting and trolling. Its design is engineered to maintain stability during various retrieval speeds in both still and moving water.
