Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Rattl'n RAP, 2/5oz fishing lure #9330

A vibrant blue spine transitions into a shimmering chrome flank on this Finnish-made lipless crankbait. Carrying the product code 9330, this Rapala Rattl'n RAP measures 2 1/4" (6 cm) and weighs in at 2/5 oz (12 g), making it a versatile choice for covering variable depths through casting or trolling. The silver-foil body is accented by a distinct red throat patch and yellow eyes with dark pupils, a classic color scheme for targeting species like zander, pike, and perch. Constructed with a sinking design, this lure is engineered to reach fish holding in deeper water columns where a standard floating plug won't venture. The hardware consists of two treble hooks attached via robust split rings, which show some minor oxidation from time. While the chrome finish displays light surface marks consistent with its age, the overall integrity remains solid, earning a condition rating of 4/5. This particular specimen highlights the precision of Finnish manufacturing, specifically intended for a wide range of predatory fish including trout, salmon, and asp.
