Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Mini Fat Rap 30, 1/8oz Brown Tiger fishing lure #11328

Weighing in at a compact 1/8 oz (4 g), the sinking body of this balsa lure showcases the classic Finnish craftsmanship collectors expect from Rapala. The Brown Tiger (DTFS) color scheme presents a soft, earthy gradient accented by dark vertical bars and bright yellow eyes. Carrying the product code 11328, this Mini Fat Rap 30 measures 1 1/4" (3 cm) and is built for casting into depths of 3 ft (0.9 m) to 6 ft (1.8 m). Its circular diving lip remains clear, showing the manufacturer’s stamp as a mark of authenticity. The specimen is in excellent shape, receiving a 5/5 condition rating for its clean exterior and well-maintained original hardware. Smaller profiles like this were highly effective for targeting perch, chub, and asp in tighter waters.
