Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Shad Rap Deep Runner 07, 1/4oz Shad fishing lure #21506

Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm), the balsa body of this Irish-made lure carries the iconic Shad (SD) pattern, featuring a detailed scale-textured back and the signature black shad dot. A weight of 1/4oz (8g) makes it a versatile choice for anglers utilizing either casting or trolling techniques. The long, clear diving lip is designed to reach depths between 5ft and 11ft (1.5 - 3.3 m), targeting species like perch, pike, and zander. Visual details include a creamy yellowish belly, delicate red accents around the gill plates, and two sharp treble hooks. This specimen, listed under product code 21506, remains in 4/5 condition. The craftsmanship reflects the early production standards from Rapala's Ireland facility, where balsa was precision-shaped for consistent buoyancy. It is a reliable tool for covering mid-to-deep water columns where predatory fish congregate.
