Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Shallow Shad Rap, 3/16oz Fire Tiger fishing lure #7351

Green scaling across the arched balsa back transitions into bright gold sides, defining the classic profile of this 2 1/4" (6cm) Finnish original. Carrying the product code 7351, the Rapala Shallow Shad Rap is presented in the Fire Tiger colorway, characterized by its sharp black vertical bars and a deep orange belly. The lure weighs 3/16oz (5g) and is built with a specialized L-shaped lip designed to maintain a running depth of 3ft to 6ft (0.9 - 1.8 m). A 5/5 condition rating is evident in the clarity of the yellow-and-black eyes and the integrity of the balsa body. Designed for both casting and trolling, the shallow lip configuration makes it particularly suited for fishing over submerged vegetation or in the early season when fish hold in the shallows. The original hardware is clean and the finish retains its factory luster, illustrating the high production standards of the Finland facility.
