Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Jointed Shad Rap, 1/4oz Shrimp W fishing lure #0099

Measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, this Finnish-made Rapala Jointed Shad Rap in the Shrimp W finish presents a realistic profile for targeting finicky predators. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 0099, features a two-part jointed body construction that enhances the visual presence of the shad profile. Weighing in at 1/4 oz (8 g), it is engineered as a suspender, allowing it to hang in the water column during pauses. The long, clear diving lip is designed to reach depths between 5.9 - 12.8 ft (1.8 - 3.9 m), making it an effective choice for mid-depth trolling or deep casting. The hardware consists of two sharp treble hooks mounted on sturdy split rings. You’ll notice the Shrimp W color scheme utilizes a subtle, earthy brown gradient with realistic scaling details and a dark eye that adds to its lifelike appearance. This lure remains in excellent 5/5 condition, showing the high-quality craftsmanship expected from the Rapala factory in Finland.
