Museum Archive: Rapala Jointed J-7, 1/8oz Silver fishing lure #4792

Measuring exactly 2 3/4" (7cm) in length, this vintage silver specimen arrives in its original red-and-black packaging, perfectly preserving its unused state. This floating balsa wood lure, identified by product code 4792, is engineered to operate at a depth of 4-6 ft (1.2-1.8 m) when utilized for casting or trolling. Rated at a condition 6, the lure is unused and exhibits a clean silver foil finish with untouched hardware and a clear diving lip. The box highlights its heritage as the "Original Finnish Minnow," a design that has remained a staple for anglers targeting trout, perch, and pike. Tipping the scales at 1/8oz (4g), the jointed construction relies on the natural buoyancy of balsa to maintain its position in the water column. The articulation between the two body segments remains tight and secure, just as it was when it left the factory.
