Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Shallow Shad Rap, 2/5oz Brown / Yellow JP fishing lure #0082

Balsa wood construction provides the buoyancy for this Finland-crafted lure, which is designed to reach depths of 5ft to 9ft (1.5 - 2.7 m). Identified by product code 0082, this specimen features the Brown / Yellow JP colorway, consisting of a dark honeycomb-scaled back over a bright yellow belly. Weighing 2/5oz (11g) and measuring 4" (10cm) in length, the body includes fine details like a red gill accent and a printed side fin. The condition of this piece is rated a clean 5/5, showing no significant signs of use on its glossy finish. Two original dark-finished treble hooks are attached via silver split rings, and the clear diving lip is perfectly set for shallow-water applications.
