Rapala Original Floater 18
The lure that started it all is still the number one go-to choice for anglers worldwide. The Rapala Original Floater 18 is a legendary 7-inch, 11/16 ounce balsa wood jerkbait that has stood the test of time since its original design. Handcrafted from premium balsa wood, this classic floater delivers the iconic wounded-minnow action that perfectly imitates struggling baitfish, making it irresistible to predators like bass, walleye, pike, trout, and muskie.
Versatile and easy to control, the Original Floater 18 can be twitched on the surface as a topwater bait, retrieved as a shallow runner, weighted with a split shot for medium depth presentations, or bottom-walked off a three-way swivel or bottom bouncer. The lure maintains its balanced, true-running motion in all presentations. Each lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested to guarantee flawless performance straight from the box.
Available in multiple classic color patterns including Gold, Silver, Perch, Pike, Shiner, Firetiger, Rainbow Trout, and Purpledescent, each color enhances visibility underwater with natural shimmer or high-contrast patterns that draw attention even in murky or low-light conditions.
