Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Jointed Shad Rap, 1/4oz SSD fishing lure #11134

A compact profile of 2" (5 cm) characterizes this Rapala Jointed Shad Rap, a versatile suspender designed for both casting and trolling. Weighing in at 1/4 oz (8 g), the lure features a distinctive two-piece body construction and a large diving lip designed to reach depths between 4.9 ft (1.5 m) and 11.5 ft (3.5 m). The SSD (Silver Shad) finish displays a metallic scale pattern with a dark, contrasting back and the signature shad spot behind the gill plate. This specific specimen, bearing product code 11134, was manufactured in Ireland, a detail often noted by collectors of vintage European Rapala production. This ultralight-friendly model also features an internal rattle for sound resonance. It is equipped with two sharp treble hooks and remains in 5/5 condition, showing a very well-maintained exterior and clear diving lip. This model is intended for targeting various species including perch, trout, walleye, and pike.
