The vibrant yellow-to-green transition on this balsa body immediately marks it as a classic Fire Tiger pattern, a staple for targeting aggressive predators in stained water. Measuring 3 1/4" (8cm) and weighing 1/3oz (9g), this Rapala Shallow Shad Rap 08 is a versatile choice for both casting and trolling across various freshwater environments. Crafted in Ireland, this specific specimen carries the product code 11977 and features the distinctive Rapala stamp on its clear, L-shaped diving lip. It is designed to operate at a depth of 4 - 8ft (1.2 - 2.4m), making it an effective tool for navigating shallow weed beds or working structure for species like pike, perch, and zander. The hardware, including the original bronze-finished treble hooks, is in great shape, contributing to an overall condition rating of 5/5. The dark vertical bars contrasting against the bright orange belly provide a high-visibility profile even when fishing in murkier conditions.
