Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Scatter Rap Minnow, 3/16oz B (Blue) Light Blue fishing lure #6858

A balsa body measuring 4 1/4" (11cm) defines the profile of this specimen, finished in a striking Light Blue (B) color scheme with silver-scaled sides and a subtle orange accent at the throat. Originating from Estonia, this Rapala Scatter Rap Minnow (product code 6858) is built for versatility in both casting and trolling setups. The lure weighs 3/16 oz (6g) and is equipped with the distinctive Scatter Lip, a clear, heart-shaped blade designed to reach depths of 6 ft to 9 ft (1.8 m to 2.7 m). The condition is rated at 5/5, showing an exceptionally clean finish with no visible wear on the body or the three sharp treble hooks. The yellow-and-black eyes are positioned forward to provide a focal point against the blue gradient on the back. This construction utilizes the natural buoyancy of balsa to manage its position in the water column while maintaining a stable profile during retrieval.
