Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Jointed J-7 UV, 1/8oz Fire Tiger fishing lure #8011

A distinctive Fire Tiger color scheme featuring green, yellow, and orange gradients with black vertical stripes distinguishes this Ireland-made lure. Labeled under product code 8011, this Rapala Jointed J-7 specimen measures 2 3/4" (7 cm) and weighs 1/8 oz (4 g). The finish is UV-reactive, providing visibility in darker water or at depth as evidenced by its glow-in-the-dark properties. Designed with floating buoyancy, the lure operates within a depth range of 4 ft to 6 ft (1.2–1.8 m) for casting and trolling. The two-part body construction is joined by metal loops and fitted with two silver treble hooks. Suitable for targeting salmon, trout, zander, and pike, this lure's condition is rated 5/5. The clear diving lip and hardware are well-preserved, showing no signs of wear.
