Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Shad Rap Deep Runner 07 Finland, 1/4oz Shad fishing lure #20744

Finland-stamped on its clear plastic diving lip, this specimen showcases the balsa-body construction that defined Rapala's early European production. At a weight of 1/4oz (8g), the Shad Rap Deep Runner 07 is built to reach depths between 5ft and 11ft (1.5 - 3.3 m) for both casting and trolling applications. The Shad color pattern remains vivid, featuring a detailed silver scale print, a prominent black lateral spot, and soft pink highlights around the gill plates. Rated 4/5, the lure is in excellent vintage condition, showing only light signs of use while the original hardware maintains its integrity. A 2 3/4" (7cm) profile provides a versatile size for targeting predators like perch, zander, or pike. The product code associated with this specific Finnish-made model is 20744.
