Vibrant Chartreuse scales over a silver foil finish define this Rapala Jointed J-11 SFC, a traditional balsa wood minnow measuring 4 1/4" (11 cm). Produced in Finland, this 1/3 oz (9 g) lure utilizes the classic articulated body design that has been a staple for anglers casting or trolling for decades. This specific specimen is preserved in its original box, which displays the product code 3701 on the identification sticker. Engineered as a floating model, it operates at depths ranging from 3.9 ft (1.2 m) to 9.2 ft (2.8 m). The balsa construction provides the characteristic buoyancy that defines early Rapala craftsmanship. Every lure of this era underwent individual tank testing to confirm it met the strict requirements of the Finnish workshop. The item is unused, maintaining a condition rating of 6. The original VMC treble hooks are intact, and the articulated joint shows no signs of wear.
