Museum Archive: Rapala Mini Fat Rap Sinking Deep Runner 30, 1/8oz S (Silver) fishing lure #7801

Silver (S) flash sides and a dark-scaled back define the aesthetic of this unused balsa wood specimen. Found in its original yellow box, the Rapala Mini Fat Rap Sinking Deep Runner 30 (product code 7801) carries a weight of 1/8 oz (4 g) in a compact 1 1/4" (3 cm) frame. Collectors will notice the Ireland origin marked on the packaging, specifically indicating production by Rapire Teo in Galway. This sinking model is intended for casting toward species like perch or asp, with a diving range of 3 - 6 ft (0.9 - 1.8 m). The lure's face is accented by a vibrant orange chin and yellow eyes with dark pupils. The original instruction leaflet remains preserved alongside the lure, which sits on its original trebles.
