Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Rattl'n RAP, 3/5oz fishing lure #7795

Green coloring across the high-profile dorsal ridge transitions into a detailed silver scale pattern on the flanks of this sinking rattler. Carrying a weight of 3/5oz (16g), the 2 3/4" (7cm) body is designed for versatility in both casting and trolling setups targeting species like perch, pike, and trout. A vibrant yellow lateral stripe is sandwiched between a thin red line and the scaled texture, accented by a distinctive black spot just behind the gill plate. Rapala developed these noise-making models as a departure from their classic balsa offerings, utilizing a durable hard-plastic shell to accommodate internal rattles. This specific specimen, identified by product code 7795, retains its original dark-finished treble hooks and shows a high-gloss finish. The lure operates at a variable depth, allowing the angler to control the water column based on retrieve timing. With minimal signs of use on the paint and solid hardware, the condition is rated 4.5/5.
