Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Shad Rap Jointed RS 07, 1/2oz Shad fishing lure #23761

At a weight of 1/2oz (13g), the Estonian-made plastic body reflects a durable transition from the classic balsa designs Rapala is known for. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) in length, the Shad Rap Jointed RS 07 is finished in a natural Shad pattern, complete with a dark dorsal area and a prominent shoulder spot. This noisy suspender is engineered for deep-water coverage during casting or trolling, utilizing a large diving lip to reach depths of 7ft - 15ft (2.1 - 4.5 m). Cataloged under product code 23761, the specimen is in 5/5 condition with the hardware and finish appearing remarkably well-preserved. The jointed section provides a physical break in the profile, complemented by internal rattles that differentiate the RS series from its silent counterparts.
