Museum Archive: Rapala Shallow Shad Rap, 1/4oz Perch fishing lure #2613

A weight of 1/4oz (7g) paired with a balsa wood body allows for effective operation within the 6-8 ft (1.8 - 2.4 m) depth range. This specific specimen, identified by product code 2613, carries the Perch color pattern, though the packaging is marked as 'Hot Steel'—a high-contrast scheme featuring a yellow-orange belly and chartreuse sides with dark, trout-style spots. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) in length, the lure is suited for casting, trolling, and twitching when targeting pike, zander, or catfish. Assembled in Estonia, the lure remains in unused condition, ensuring the original finish and sharp treble hooks are preserved. The clear shallow-running lip provides the necessary resistance to maintain a steady swimming path in the upper water column.
