Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Shad Rap Jointed RS 04, 3/16oz FT (Fire Tiger) fishing lure #23760

Tipping the scales at 3/16oz (5g), this plastic-bodied Shad Rap Jointed RS 04 features a distinctive two-section design optimized for both casting and trolling techniques. Measuring 1 1/2" (4cm) in length, this specimen is finished in a natural shad pattern with silver-scaled sides, a dark back, and a prominent black shoulder spot. Manufactured in Ireland, as evidenced by the clear diving lip, this lure is designed to reach depths between 6ft and 13ft (1.8 - 3.9 m) while functioning as a suspender to maintain its position in the water column. This 'RS' version is noise-equipped, containing internal rattles within its durable plastic housing. The hardware includes two sharp treble hooks securely attached to the jointed segments. Rated at 5/5, the lure is unused and remains in pristine condition, showing the high-quality craftsmanship of its Irish origin. Every detail, from the textured scale finish to the large eyes, remains perfectly intact on this product code 23760 specimen.
