Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Shad Rap Deep Runner 07, 1/4oz BSCD fishing lure #12158

Red treble hooks and a matching translucent red lip provide a sharp contrast against the BSCD color palette of this 1/4 oz (8 g) find. Carrying product code 12158, this Rapala Shad Rap Deep Runner 07 was crafted in Estonia with a classic balsa wood body. The finish features a pearlescent cream-white belly that transitions into a lime-yellow back, overlaid with a subtle silver scale mesh pattern. Distinct red gill slashes are painted on the sides, perfectly matching the deep-diving bill designed to reach depths of 4.9 - 10.8 ft (1.5 - 3.3 m). Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm), the floating lure is equipped with a split ring on the lip for secure line attachment. The specimen is exceptionally well-preserved, showing great care in its hardware and finish, earning a condition rating of 5/5. This model is frequently used for targeting species such as zander, pike, and perch in both casting and trolling applications.
