Hand-tuned balsa wood construction provides the 8 cm (3 1/4") body of this Rapala Shallow Shad Rap 08 with its signature buoyancy and responsiveness. Dressed in a distinctive Brown / Yellow JP finish, the lure showcases a dark, cross-hatched scale pattern on the back that fades into a rich golden yellow flank, accented by a subtle orange mark near the gill and a dark lateral spot. Weighing 9 g (1/3 oz) and identified by product code 0083, the specimen is a prime example of Finnish tackle design. The original hardware, including two dark-finished treble hooks, remains in 5/5 condition. The clear, shallow-running lip is engineered to keep the lure within a 1.2 - 2.4 m (4 - 8 ft) depth range, making it a reliable choice for targeting zander, perch, or pike in thinner water. Floating properties inherent to the balsa material offer a strategic advantage when navigating through structure during casting or trolling sessions.
