Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Rattl'n RAP 08, 2/3oz fishing lure #12663

A shimmering gold-scaled body defines this 3 1/4" (8cm) lipless crankbait, designed for targeting a wide variety of freshwater species. Manufactured in Estonia, the Rapala Rattl'n RAP 08 carries the product code 12663 and weighs in at 2/3oz (20g). The upper portion of the lure is finished in a vibrant green, creating a sharp contrast against the metallic gold sides and the realistic black lateral spot. As a sinking model, it operates at a variable depth, giving the angler control over the water column during casting or trolling. The hardware consists of two sturdy treble hooks, with the specimen showing a condition rating of 5/5. This specific lure highlights the classic Rapala profile with its flat head and top-mounted line tie, a design built to house internal rattles for auditory presence.
