Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Shallow Shad Rap, 3/16oz S (Silver) fishing lure #7302

Silver foil textures provide a subtle flash on this floating model, a classic finish for the Rapala Shallow Shad Rap. Weighing in at 3/16 oz (5 g) and measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm), this specimen carries the product code 7302 and represents the heritage of Finnish lure making. The "S" (Silver) color profile includes a dark spine and a distinct orange throat accent near the clear, shallow-running lip. This particular model is engineered to dive between 3-6 ft (0.9-1.8 m), making it an effective choice for casting or trolling over weed beds or in cooler water temperatures. The build quality remains high, with the original hardware still intact and a condition rating of 5/5. Collectors will appreciate the "Rapala Finland" stamp clearly visible on the diving plane. Designed for a wide range of freshwater predators from perch to pike, its construction is balanced for versatile presentation styles.
