Museum Archive: Rapala Jointed J-11 SFC, 1/3oz Yellow fishing lure #3799

A vibrant chartreuse back transitions into silver scaled sides on this 4 1/4" (11 cm) balsa wood body. This unused specimen, assigned product code 3799, is the Rapala Jointed J-11 in the SFC (Silver Fluorescent Chartreuse) color pattern. Weighing 1/3 oz (9 g), the lure is designed to operate at depths of 4 ft (1.2 m) to 9 ft (2.8 m). Crafted in Finland, the two-piece construction is fitted with two treble hooks and a clear diving lip. Because it is categorized with a condition 6 rating, the lure is unused and remains in its original factory packaging. The high-contrast red and yellow eyes provide a distinct focal point against the bright fluorescent finish.
