Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Shallow Shad Rap 09, 2/5oz Fire Tiger fishing spoon #11907

Painted in the classic Fire Tiger pattern, this balsa wood lure stands out with its vibrant orange belly and bold vertical bars. Originating from Estonia, this Rapala Shallow Shad Rap 09, cataloged under product code 11907, measures 3 1/2" (9 cm) in length and weighs 2/5 oz (12 g). The specimen is in excellent condition, rated 5/5, with its finish and hardware appearing exceptionally well-preserved. Engineered as a floating lure, it is optimized for casting or trolling at depths between 4 ft and 8 ft (1.2 m - 2.4 m). This specific diving range makes it a reliable choice for cold water or weedy shallows where pike, perch, and trout often hold. The construction features two sturdy treble hooks and a distinctively angled clear plastic lip that defines the shallow-running profile of this model.
