Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Magnums, 1/2oz SM fishing lure #12467

The Silver Mackerel (SM) pattern on this 1/2 oz (13 g) lure provides a striking blue-barred contrast against the polished silver sides. Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm), this Rapala Magnum carries the product code 12467 and belongs to the era of production in Ireland. A clear diving lip allows the lure to reach depths between 4 ft and 11 ft (1.2 - 3.3 m), making it suitable for both casting and trolling for predators like pike or catfish. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing off the iconic yellow eyes and red throat patch that Rapala enthusiasts look for. Original hardware includes two sets of sharp treble hooks designed to handle significant force during a strike.
