Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Rattl'n RAP RNR-8, 3/4oz FT (Fire Tiger) fishing lure #18614

Featuring the iconic Fire Tiger (FT) pattern, this sinking lipless crankbait displays the high-contrast chartreuse, green, and orange hues Rapala is known for. At a weight of 3/4 oz (22g), the RNR-8 model is weighted for long-distance casting and effective trolling. The 3 1/4" (8 cm) body reflects the classic Finnish craftsmanship associated with the 18614 product code. Designed to be fished at a variable depth, it is effective whether retrieved through upper layers or allowed to sink for deep-water coverage. The flat-head design provides the necessary surface area for its intended presentation without a traditional diving lip. Two sturdy treble hooks are securely mounted, and the specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing a pristine finish with sharp black vertical stripes. The line tie is positioned on the dorsal ridge, a hallmark of the Rattl'n RAP series produced in Finland.
