Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Shad Rap Deep Runner 07, 1/4oz Shad fishing lure #23835

A balsa wood construction gives this Rapala Shad Rap Deep Runner 07 its classic lightweight feel, weighing in at 1/4oz (8g). Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm), the lure features the timeless Shad color pattern, consisting of a silver-gold scaled body, a deep black back, and a signature red accent under the chin. This Estonian-made specimen, identified by product code 23835, is equipped with a long diving lip designed to reach depths of 5ft (1.5 m) to 11ft (3.3 m) when used for casting or trolling. The yellow eyes with dark centers provide a focal point on the head, just above the clear diving plane. Designed to target everything from zander and perch to pike and trout, the hardware remains bright and the finish shows it has been well-maintained. Its physical state is excellent, earning a condition rating of 5/5. Two silver-tone treble hooks are securely attached to the belly and tail.
