Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Shad Rap Deep Runner 07, 1/4oz fishing lure #8756

Crafted in Ireland, the balsa wood body weighs 1/4 oz (8 g) and measures 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length. This Shad Rap Deep Runner 07, assigned product code 8756, features a vibrant blue back over silver-gold foil sides and a bright orange belly. Its elongated clear diving bill is engineered for reaching depths of 5–11 ft (1.5–3.3 m), suitable for both casting and trolling applications. The specimen is preserved in 5/5 condition, maintaining the integrity of its finish and the original treble hooks. Constructed from lightweight balsa for buoyancy, this floating model was developed for targeting predators like pike, perch, and trout. The distinct yellow-green eye with a black pupil sits just above the foil line, showcasing the classic aesthetics of the brand's Irish manufacturing era.
