Rapala Original Floating
The lure that started it all is still the number one go-to lure for anglers targeting freshwater species. 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 or bottom bouncer, the wounded minnow action continues to be irresistible to fish everywhere.
This classic F13 model measures 5¼ inches, weighs ¼ ounce, and runs up to 6 feet deep unassisted. The lure comes pre-rigged with size 5 premium black nickel VMC hooks that are proven and durable. Each lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested to ensure that world-renowned Original Floating action straight from the box.
Since Lauri Rapala first threw his cork and tinfoil prototype on a Finnish lake in 1936, this design has remained virtually unchanged because it simply works. Available in over 10 classic colors including Yellow Perch, the Original Floating is equally effective for trout, walleye, bass, pike, and muskie in both freshwater environments and coastal applications.
