Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Rattl'n RAP RNR-7, 3/5oz Shad fishing lure #20426

Finished in a classic Shad pattern, this 2 3/4" (7 cm) specimen features a detailed scale texture along the upper back and realistic gill plate detailing. Stamped clearly on the underside with "RATTL'N RAP RAPALA FINLAND," the lure's origin is unmistakable, reflecting the high manufacturing standards of its Finnish heritage. Weighing in at 3/5 oz (16 g), it is equipped with two sharp treble hooks secured by sturdy split rings, designed for variable depth retrieval in both casting and trolling applications. Collectors will recognize the RNR-7 model, here cataloged under product code 20426, as a quintessential sinking lipless crankbait used for targeting species like pike, perch, and zander. The hardware and paint are in excellent condition, earning a 5/5 rating for its crisp graphics and bright, clear eyes. As a noise-style lure, the internal sound chamber is a defining characteristic of this specific Finnish design.
