Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Shad Rap Deep Runner 05, 3/16oz Finland fishing lure #19761

Yellow-tinted back highlights on a pearlescent balsa body make this Finland color scheme a standout for visibility in various water conditions. Weighing 3/16 oz (5 g) and measuring 2" (5 cm), this Shad Rap Deep Runner 05 is built from high-grade balsa wood, a material central to the brand's history of creating buoyant, responsive lures. The clear diving lip is designed to reach depths between 4 ft (1.2 m) and 9 ft (2.7 m), making it effective for both casting and trolling. This specimen, carrying product code 19761, is in 5/5 condition with clean, original hardware and a subtle red splash near the throat. The 'Rapala Finland' engraving on the lip serves as a mark of authentic Finnish manufacturing. Its floating nature allows for specific techniques when targeting predators like perch, zander, or trout in deeper structures.
