Vibrant Fire Tiger patterns define the finish of this Finnish-made lure, a unique design that combines the profile of a minnow with the flashing utility of a spoon. Weighing 1/2 oz (15 g) and measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, the Rapala Minnow Spoon is built to target predatory fish hiding in dense vegetation. The single VMC hook is integrated directly into the body and protected by a metal weed guard, allowing it to navigate thick cover where traditional trebles would snag. Labeled under product code 24003, the paint scheme transitions from a deep green spine to a bright yellow belly, marked by distinct black vertical bars and a yellow eye with a dark pupil. This specific example maintains a clean appearance, showing only light signs of previous use to merit a 4/5 condition rating. When allowed to sink, the body sways from side to side and kicks its tail to generate flashes during the descent.
