Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala X-RAP , 3/32oz fishing lure #23273

At a weight of 3/32 oz (2.4g), this specimen showcases the meticulous detail Rapala is known for in its smaller balsa profiles. Designated as the Rapala X-RAP under product code 23273, the 2" (5cm) body is finished in a lifelike Rainbow Trout pattern, featuring a shimmering silver foil belly and a soft pink lateral stripe. The upper portion transitions into an olive-green back peppered with fine dark spots, providing a realistic baitfish silhouette. With a condition rating of 5/5, the lure is unused, maintaining a crystal-clear diving lip and two original dark-nickel treble hooks in excellent state. The construction emphasizes the classic Finnish design elements, where the hardware and eyelets are perfectly centered for balanced casting and trolling.
