Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Risto Rap 05, 1/3oz fishing lure #13692

Measuring a compact 2" (5cm) and weighing 1/3oz (10g), the gradient on this specimen transitions smoothly from a deep blue spine to a lime green flank and a bright yellow belly. This Rapala Risto Rap 05, cataloged under product code 13692, is built for reaching depths between 8.2ft and 9.8ft (2.5-3m) thanks to its prominent, clear diving bill. On the side, a detailed sunfish-style illustration with orange and grey accents provides a naturalistic profile for targeting predators like pike or walleye. The textured scale pattern on the upper half adds a tactile dimension to the finish, which remains in excellent 5/5 condition with no visible marks on the hardware or body. Secured by sturdy split rings, the two bronze treble hooks remain sharp and ready for the water. Whether used for casting or trolling, the construction reflects the quality expected from Finnish lure-making traditions, visible in the clean stamping on the bill.
