Dressed in a vibrant orange back over shimmering gold scale-patterned sides, this Finnish classic showcases the meticulous hand-tuned heritage Rapala is known for. The two-piece balsa wood body measures 4 1/4" (11 cm) and weighs 1/3oz (9g), offering the classic silhouette of a jointed minnow. Identified by product code 15159, the specimen is in 5/5 condition, appearing exceptionally well-preserved with its original paint luster and sharp, bronzed treble hooks. A clear plastic diving lip is firmly set into the head section, paired with the iconic yellow and black painted eyes. Originating from Finland, the construction features the traditional wire-through design that connects the articulated segments. The white belly provides a clean contrast to the textured gold foiling on the flanks, a color combination designed for high visibility in various water clarities.
