Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Shad Rap Deep Runner 05, 3/16oz Р (Perch) fishing lure #20428

Perch (P) coloring stands out on the balsa wood body of this 2" (5 cm) lure, featuring traditional dark vertical bars over a vibrant green and gold gradient. Originating from Finland, this specific Shad Rap Deep Runner 05 (Product Code: 20428) is engineered to reach depths between 4ft and 9ft (1.2 – 2.7 m). Its lightweight 3/16 oz (5 g) frame is primarily designed for casting or trolling when targeting species such as perch, trout, or zander. The oversized, clear diving lip is securely set, showing the clean lines and careful construction typical of Finnish Rapala production. Two original treble hooks are present and remain sharp, exhibiting a clean finish consistent with its 5/5 condition rating. The belly of the lure shows a smooth transition from a deep orange near the throat to a lighter yellow towards the tail.
