Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Shallow Shad Rap, 3/16oz Silver fishing lure #6414

Sporting a textured silver foil finish, this 5/5 condition specimen remains in excellent shape. At a weight of 3/16oz (5g) and a length of 2 1/4" (6cm), the Rapala Shallow Shad Rap (Product Code 6414) represents the craftsmanship of its Finnish origin. The silver sides transition into a dark black spine, complemented by a vibrant orange-red gill stripe positioned just below the yellow and black painted eyes. Its clear plastic diving lip is angled for a specific working depth of 3ft (0.9m) to 6ft (1.8m), making it an ideal choice for casting or trolling through weedy shallows. This model is frequently utilized for targeting species like pike, perch, and zander, especially in lower water temperatures where a shallow presentation is required. The hardware remains bright, with both original treble hooks securely attached via clean split rings.
