Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Shad Rap Deep Runner 05 (Finland), 3/16oz Shad fishing lure #24026

Dressed in the classic Shad pattern, this 3/16oz (5g) balsa wood lure represents the craftsmanship of the original Finnish production. Measuring a compact 2" (5cm) in length, this specimen is a well-maintained example of the Shad Rap Deep Runner 05, specifically identified by product code 24026. The exterior is in high-grade condition, rated at 5/5 for its clear finish and lack of visible wear. Built to reach depths between 4 – 9 ft (1.2 – 2.7 m), it serves as a versatile tool for both casting and trolling for species like zander, perch, or pike. The clear diving lip is securely integrated into the nose, balanced to work alongside the buoyant balsa body. Looking closely at the hardware, the bronzed trebles and split rings remain in excellent form, reflecting its origin in Finland which is a hallmark of quality for anglers who value the heritage of the Rapala brand.
