A vibrant metallic gold finish defines the sides of this Rapala Rattl'n RAP 08, paired with a distinct green scale pattern along its back. Weighing in at 2/3 oz (20g) and measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm), this specific model hails from the brand's Irish production period. A prominent black 'kill spot' is positioned just behind the gill plate, mimicking the natural markings of forage fish. The chrome plating remains in a clean 5/5 condition, showing the high-quality finish Rapala is known for. This lipless, noise-making design is built for casting or trolling at variable depths, allowing for coverage of the entire water column. The top-mounted line tie ensures the lure maintains a steady posture during retrieval. It is equipped with sturdy, silver-finished treble hooks. This particular specimen, identified by product code 12883, is a robust choice for targeting everything from pike to salmon.
