Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Risto Rap 05, 1/3oz SG fishing lure #7855

Metallic SG finish catches the light across the arched back of this deep-diving specialist. Reaching a working depth of 8 to 10 feet (2.5–3 m), this 1/3 oz (10 g) model provides a significant presence for anglers targeting pike or walleye. Manufactured in Ireland, the 2 1/4-inch (5.9 cm) body showcases the precise craftsmanship associated with the Rapala brand, identified specifically by product code 7855. The SG pattern transitions smoothly from a dark, scale-patterned spine into a brilliant gold flank, accented by a detailed red gill print. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, maintaining a clean surface and clear transparency in the oversized diving lip. Its hardware consists of two darkened treble hooks, typical of vintage Irish production, ready for either casting or trolling techniques.
