Rapala Original Floater F09 Balsa Jerkbait
The lure that started it all—the Rapala Original Floater—remains one of the most effective fishing lures ever devised. Since Lauri Rapala first threw his cork and tinfoil prototype on a Finnish lake in 1936, this design has continued to catch fish across the world. The F09 model measures 3.5 inches, weighs 3/16 ounce, and runs up to 5 feet deep unassisted.

Whether twitched on top as a surface bait, retrieved as a shallow runner, weighted with a split shot for medium depth, or bottom walked off a three-way swivel, the wounded minnow action continues to be irresistible to predatory fish. This is a must-have lure in every angler's tackle box.
