Museum Archive: Rapala Rattl'n RAP 07, 3/5oz FT (Fire Tiger) fishing lure #11775

Decorated in the classic FT (Fire Tiger) color palette, this specimen features a vibrant green back that fades into bright yellow sides marked with bold black vertical bars and a bright orange belly. Weighing 3/5 oz (16g) and measuring 2 3/4" (7cm), the product code 11775 identifies this as a Rattl'n RAP 07 in unused condition with a rating of 6. This Estonian-manufactured lipless sinking lure incorporates a high-frequency internal rattle intended for casting or trolling. It is engineered for a variable swimming depth, giving the angler control over the presentation across the water column. The belly and tail are equipped with the original dark-finished treble hooks, and the lure body is stamped with the brand name near the tail. This piece is preserved in its original orange Rapala box, which labels it as a sinking model and part of the 'Original Finnish Minnow' lineage.
