Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Original Floater F13, 1/4oz S (Silver) fishing lure #20007

Lightweight balsa wood construction defines this 1/4 oz (7 g) specimen, showcasing the classic engineering of the Original Floater series. Hailing from Ireland, this lure is presented in the traditional S (Silver) color pattern and maintains an excellent 5/5 condition. Measuring 5" (13 cm), this F13 model is rated for a diving depth of 3.9–5.9 ft (1.2–1.8 m), optimized for casting or trolling using steady or stop-and-go retrieves. The hardware consists of three belly-mounted treble hooks, while the clear diving lip provides the necessary resistance for standard retrieve depths. Identified by product code 20007, the aesthetic is completed by a dark back that contrasts against the reflective silver sides and a subtle red accent at the nose.
