Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Risto Rap, 1oz fishing lure #7716

Gold foil finishes define this classic deep-diver, showcasing the high-quality Irish production standards of its era. Identified by product code 7716, this 1oz (28g) specimen features a robust 3 1/2" (9cm) body designed to target zander and pike. The color scheme is particularly striking, combining a dark scaled back with metallic gold sides and a silver belly. A prominent red gill mark provides a visual focal point, while the large clear lip allows the lure to reach depths between 13ft and 15ft (4 - 4.5 m). Rated at 5/5, the finish is well-preserved across the entire profile. The hardware consists of two original treble hooks and a line tie ring integrated directly into the diving lip for stability when casting or trolling.
