Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala X-Rap Saltwater 12, 3/4oz mackerel #23756

Dressed in a realistic mackerel pattern, this slow-sinking Rapala X-Rap Saltwater 12 (Product Code 23756) features a distinct blue-to-silver gradient with dark vertical barring along its flanks. It tips the scales at 3/4 oz (24 g) and measures 4 3/4 inches (12 cm), hailing from the brand's Estonian production facility. The lure's translucent body houses internal holographic foil, complemented by prominent 3D eyes and textured gill plates. Rigged with corrosion-resistant VMC Perma Steel treble hooks, the hardware is prepared for harsh marine environments. This specimen holds a 5/5 condition rating, showing clear surfaces and sharp hook points. With a functional diving depth of 4 ft to 8 ft (1.2 m - 2.4 m), it is well-suited for trolling or heavy casting techniques. An internal long-cast mechanism provides the necessary weight transfer for reaching distant targets from the surf or boat.
