Museum Archive: Rapala Jointed J-7, 1/8oz SFC fishing lure #10317

SFC color patterns, like the one seen on this 2 3/4" (7cm) Jointed J-7, remain a favorite among collectors for their striking contrast in the water. This balsa wood lure, weighing 1/8oz (4g), is designed to operate within a depth range of 4ft to 6ft (1.2m to 1.8m), making it a versatile choice for casting or trolling for pike and trout. Carrying product code 10317, this specimen is unused and resides in its original Finnish packaging. The silver scale pattern on the sides is complemented by a vibrant yellow back, a color combination known as Silver Fluorescent Chartreuse. Each of these lures left the factory with the "Hand Tuned Tank Tested" promise visible on the box flap. The two-piece balsa construction is joined by robust metal hardware, keeping the profile aligned during steady retrieves.
