Museum Archive: Vintage RAPALA Rapala Jointed J -9, 3/16oz G / Gold fishing lure #7061

A striking Gold (G) finish defines the balsa wood body of this RAPALA Rapala Jointed J -9, featuring a high-contrast dark back and a vibrant orange-tipped chin. Carrying the product code 7061, the 3 1/2" (9cm) frame utilizes a two-piece jointed design for distinct physical articulation during the retrieve. This floating specimen is balanced to reach depths between 4-6ft (1.2 - 1.8 m), making it an effective choice for both casting and trolling in various water conditions. Weighing 3/16oz (6g), the lure's construction is engineered to maintain stable play even when worked at very slow speeds. The item appears in excellent 5/5 condition, with its glossy exterior and original hardware showing virtually no signs of age. A clear plastic diving lip and two sharp treble hooks are securely integrated into the traditional balsa structure.
