Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Rattl'n RAP 08, 2/3oz fishing lure #12522

Weighing in at 2/3 oz (20 g), this sinking lipless crankbait is built for versatile coverage across variable depths. The 3 1/4" (8 cm) silver body transitions into a striking teal back marked with dark tiger stripes, while a bright orange-red patch highlights the chin. Manufactured in Ireland, this Rattl'n RAP 08 carries the product code 12522 and features a classic yellow eye with a black pupil. The specimen sits at a 4/5 condition rating, showing well-preserved hardware and paint with only minor indications of its age. Designed for both casting and trolling, its internal rattle chamber provides the auditory signature characteristic of this model when pursuing predators like pike, walleye, or salmon. The twin treble hooks are attached via sturdy split rings, ready for a place in a vintage Rapala collection.
