Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Scatter Rap Crank 07, 1/2oz Perch fishing lure #6653

The Perch pattern on this 1/2oz (15g) balsa body is remarkably lifelike, capturing the subtle olive and gold transitions of a natural prey fish. Carrying product code 6653, this Rapala Scatter Rap Crank 07 represents a fine example of Irish manufacturing. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm), the lure is built with a distinctive, deeply curved Scatter Lip designed to reach depths of 5-8 ft (1.5-2.4 m). Looking closely at the clear diving bill, the Rapala brand name is sharply embossed, confirming its authenticity. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, maintaining a smooth, clean surface and vibrant detailing from head to tail. The hardware remains bright and strong, featuring two black nickel treble hooks ready for targeting predators like pike or large perch.
