Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Shad Rap Deep Runner 05, 3/16oz fishing lure #16757

Weighing in at 3/16 oz (5 g), this balsa wood lure from Finland features a vibrant fluorescent finish that reacts intensely under UV light. The 2" (5 cm) body is adorned with distinctive black squiggle patterns over a neon green-to-yellow gradient, accented by a bright orange belly. Designed for deeper presentations, the clear plastic diving lip on the Shad Rap Deep Runner 05 (Product Code 16757) enables it to work through the water column between 4 ft (1.2 m) and 9 ft (2.7 m). This specimen remains in 5/5 condition, featuring original hardware with two sharp treble hooks. The balsa construction makes it a versatile choice for both casting and trolling setups when targeting species like zander, perch, or trout. A single yellow eye with a black pupil sits just above the lip, providing a classic visual target.
