Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Jointed J-11 SFC, 1/3oz Blue fishing lure #6472

Featuring a two-part balsa wood body, this specimen weighs 1/3oz (9g) and measures 4 1/4" (11cm) in length. The "Blue" colorway showcases a deep azure back that transitions into shimmering silver sides, complemented by a distinct splash of orange at the throat. This Rapala Jointed J-11 SFC carries product code 6472 and is built for versatility, effective for both casting and trolling at depths of 4ft (1.2 m) to 8ft (2.4 m). The condition is a solid 5/5, with the hardware and finish appearing remarkably well-preserved. Its articulated construction provides a stable presence during a slow retrieve, while the yellow eyes with dark pupils add a classic visual element to the profile. This floating lure is a fine example of Finnish balsa craftsmanship, ready for the water or the collection.
