Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Skitter Pop SP 07, 1/4oz fishing lure #11372

Black-to-silver scale patterns wrap around the balsa wood body of this Finnish-made surface lure. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) and weighing 1/4oz (7g), this specimen is designed for topwater presentation at a depth of 0ft (0m). The cupped plastic lip has a distinct gold-toned finish, and the side is clearly stamped with the model name. A vibrant red accent sits near the gills, while the rear treble hook is dressed with a combination of white and red feathers held by a red thread wrap. This specific Rapala Skitter Pop SP 07, carrying product code 11372, is in 5/5 condition with a clean finish and well-preserved hardware. The belly is a solid creamy white, contrasting with the dark upper back and silver mesh-patterned flanks. It is built for casting near underwater vegetation or lily pads for perch and pike. Large white eyes with black pupils provide a high-contrast focal point on the lure's head.
