Weighing in at 2/5 oz (12 g), this Irish-crafted specimen features the distinctive plastic body construction of the Rapping Shad series, designed specifically for neutral buoyancy. The silver scale pattern along the sides transitions into a dark grey spine, accented by a subtle red gill line and a hand-painted yellow fin. A large yellow eye with a prominent black pupil serves as a clear strike point. This 2 3/4" (7 cm) Shad Rap RS 07, carrying product code 13790, is equipped with a clear diving lip stamped with the Ireland origin, allowing it to reach depths between 7–15 ft (2.1–4.5 m). As a suspending model, it is engineered to hang in the water column during pauses when casting or trolling for pike, perch, and asp. The hardware remains in excellent shape, with the original treble hooks and split rings showing a condition rating of 5/5. The finish retains its high-reflectivity silver foil, characteristic of the quality control from the Rapala Ireland era.
