Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Shad Rap Deep Runner 07 , 1/4oz CW fishing lure #19314

Coated in a striking CW pattern featuring gold-scaled sides and a deep copper-brown back, this 1/4 oz (8g) balsa wood lure exemplifies the precision of Finnish manufacturing. The Rapala Shad Rap Deep Runner 07, cataloged under product code 19314, spans 2 3/4" (7 cm) and is built for versatility in both casting and trolling applications. Its long, clear plastic diving lip allows the lure to reach depths between 5 and 11 ft (1.5 - 3.3 m), making it a reliable choice for targeting pike, zander, or perch in deeper structures. A vibrant orange belly serves as a focal point, contrasting sharply with the metallic finish. Rated at 5/5, the specimen is in pristine condition, showing no wear on the finish or the two original treble hooks. The balsa construction provides the necessary buoyancy for a floating profile, which is particularly effective when navigating submerged obstacles or rocky bottoms.
