Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Rattl'n RAP, 2/5oz fishing lure #10314

Weighing in at 2/5 oz (11g), this lipless crankbait showcases the distinctive craftsmanship of Rapala's Ireland-based production era. The 2" (5 cm) body is finished in a detailed shad pattern, featuring a pearlescent cream base topped with a fine blue and green scale motif along the arched back. A soft pink blush marks the gill plates, complemented by a singular blue spot behind the head and bright yellow eyes with dark pupils. Labeled under product code 10314, the specimen features a clear "IRELAND" stamp on its belly, a detail indicating its historical manufacturing origin. As a sinking model, it is designed for a variable depth range, allowing for versatile applications in both casting and trolling. The hardware includes two sharp, bronzed treble hooks attached by sturdy split rings. This lure is in excellent state, maintaining its original luster and vibrant color across the entire profile, earning a 5/5 rating.
