Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Scatter Rap Shad 07, 1/4oz fishing lure #23321

Constructed from lightweight balsa wood, this 1/4oz (7g) lure carries the craftsmanship associated with its Irish origins. The Rapala Scatter Rap Shad 07, identified by product code 23321, features a distinctively curved clear lip designed to reach depths between 5-8 ft (1.5-2.4 m). Its 2 3/4" (7cm) body is finished in a realistic baitfish pattern, featuring a dark olive back, golden-hued sides, and a prominent black spot near the gill. The underside of the floating body is cleanly stamped with the model name 'Scatter Rap Shad 07'. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, maintaining a smooth finish and original bronze-toned treble hooks. Rapala utilized high-quality balsa for this model to ensure a specific buoyancy profile during casting or trolling sessions.
