Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Shallow Magnum 18 FMAG18GM, 1 1/2oz GM fishing lure #20904

Sporting a Gold Mackerel (GM) finish, this 7" (18 cm) Rapala Shallow Magnum 18 shows the classic vertical barring over a warm golden-yellow body. Weighing in at 1 1/2 oz (44 g), this specimen, identified by product code 20904, is crafted from dense African Abachi wood, a material chosen for its durability against the heavy strikes of saltwater species and large freshwater predators like northern pike and musky. The tapered lip is designed for shallow-running presentations, intended for use in the upper water column. Original Perma Steel hooks and rust-resistant hardware remain intact, reflecting the high manufacturing standards of its Estonian origin. Rated 4/5, the specimen is in very clean condition, retaining its vibrant paint and structural integrity. A subtle red accent under the throat provides a strike-triggering visual detail characteristic of this series.
