Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Rattl'n RAP UV, 3/5oz Fire Tiger fishing lure #7641

A weight of 3/5 oz (16g) provides the density required for this sinking lure to reach various levels of the water column during casting or trolling. The Rapala Rattl'n RAP UV, designated by product code 7641, is finished in a traditional Fire Tiger pattern with a vibrant green back, orange-yellow belly, and bold black stripes. Visible under UV light, a significant portion of the body glows with a bright green luminescence, making it a specialized choice for deep or murky waters. The 2 3/4" (7cm) lipless body houses an internal rattle chamber, a technical feature intended to create auditory attraction for predators such as pike, zander, and perch. Originating from Finland, this specimen remains in 5/5 condition, with its original factory luster and clean, sharp dark-finished treble hooks. Because it is a sinking model, the working depth is variable, allowing the angler to target different zones depending on the retrieve speed. A simple painted eye with a gold ring and black center sits at the front of the tapering head, consistent with Rapala's classic design aesthetic.
