Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Floating Magnum F13, 3/5oz SB fishing lure #10697

A shimmering Silver Blue (SB) finish defines this Rapala Floating Magnum, a 17 g (3/5 oz) lure built for durability. Originating from Ireland, this 13 cm (5") specimen is identified by product code 10697 and features a two-section jointed body that provides a unique profile while trolling or casting. The large, clear plastic diving lip is engineered to take the lure down to depths of 4 ft (1.2 m) to 11 ft (3.3 m), making it a versatile choice for targeting pike, zander, and catfish. Looking closely at the hardware, you'll find sturdy treble hooks and reinforced connections. The color scheme transitions smoothly from a deep blue top to a pale, silver-tinted underside, punctuated by distinctive yellow eyes. Given its 5/5 condition rating, the lure remains in excellent state, with the finish and clear lip retaining their original clarity.
