Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) and weighing 1/8 oz (4 g), this Rapala Jointed J7 is designed for a variety of techniques including casting and trolling. The clear diving lip is stamped with the country of origin, Finland, and facilitates a swimming depth ranging from 3.9 ft (1.2 m) to 5.9 ft (1.8 m). This specific specimen carries a 5/5 rating, showing vibrant paintwork and well-preserved hardware. Primarily targeted at perch, zander, trout, and pike, the lure features iconic yellow and black eyes with a soft red accent at the throat. Under the product code 13467, the silver foil beneath the chartreuse finish provides a subtle flash consistent with the high-quality craftsmanship expected from early Rapala models.
