Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Shad Rap Deep Runner 08, 2/5oz fishing lure #10395

A distinct silver scale finish transitions into a bold red head and yellow back on this 8cm (3 1/4") balsa wood specimen. Weighting in at 11g (2/5 oz), this Shad Rap Deep Runner 08 (Product Code 10395) features the hallmark craftsmanship of Rapala's production in Ireland. The oversized transparent lip is engineered to reach depths between 8 and 15 ft (2.4 - 4.5 m), allowing for effective deep-water presentation whether casting or trolling for pike, zander, or perch. The balsa construction provides the specific buoyancy required for deep-diving techniques while maintaining the lure's structural integrity. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing a clean, well-preserved exterior and clear manufacturer stamps on the diving bill. The hardware is consistent with the original factory specifications, and the painted eye detail remains sharp and centered.
