Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Rattl'n RAP RNR 4, 3/16oz fishing lure #23268

Measuring exactly 1 1/2 inches (4 cm), the RNR 4 size is a masterclass in Finnish compact lure design. A vibrant green scale pattern runs along the dorsal ridge, transitioning into brilliant gold sides marked by a single black strike point behind the gill. The belly of this sinking model features the traditional "Rattlin Rapala Finland" stamp, a hallmark of authenticity for collectors tracking product code 23268. Weighing in at 3/16 oz (6 g), the lure is engineered for a variable depth range, allowing for diverse presentation depths in both casting and trolling scenarios. The hardware consists of two original treble hooks mounted via sturdy split rings. Rated at a condition of 5/5, the gold chrome plating retains its original luster with no visible wear to the metallic finish.
