Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala X-RAP Sureset, 2/5oz fishing lure #9540

Measuring a sleek 4 1/4" (11cm), the slender profile of this Rapala X-RAP Sureset is finished in a clean white-on-silver scheme. Originating from Ireland, this specimen carries a 5/5 condition rating, appearing exceptionally well-preserved with no visible wear. A subtle touch of orange is located on the throat area just behind the clear plastic lip, providing a classic focal point for predatory fish like bass, perch, zander, or pike. The hardware configuration is notable for its feathered rear treble hook, which adds a distinct texture to the tail end of the lure. Weighing in at 2/5 oz (12.5g), the lure is designed to operate at a depth of 2 ft - 4 ft (0.6 - 1.2 m). This model, identified by product code 9540, is engineered for techniques such as stop & go, jerking, steady retrieves, twitching, and trolling. The gold-rimmed 3D eyes are well-aligned, completing the baitfish profile common to this specific Irish-made production.
