Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Magnums, 1/4oz fishing lure #11149

Ireland-sourced production defines the origin of this specimen, marking a specific era in Rapala's manufacturing history. Weighing in at 1/4oz (7g) with a length of 2 3/4" (7cm), this floating Rapala Magnum carries the classic profile sought after by collectors of European-made lures. The color pattern features a striking silver-scaled body that meets a deep black back, accented by a vibrant red head and throat area. A clear diving lip is integrated into the nose, allowing the bait to reach depths between 3.9ft (1.2m) and 10.8ft (3.3m) during use. Its condition is a solid 5/5, showing no signs of wear on the finish or the original hardware. This specific model, identified by product code 11149, is built for both casting and trolling applications targeting species like pike, zander, or catfish. The traditional foil-wrapped construction and painted details reflect the high standards of the Irish facility where it was crafted.
