Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Husky Floating 13, 1/3oz fishing lure #13120

Measuring 5" (13 cm) in length, the slender profile of this balsa wood classic is a staple in many vintage tackle collections. This specific specimen, bearing product code 13120, features a high-visibility chrome body accented with a deep red head and a fine black scale pattern along the spine. At a weight of 1/3 oz (9 g), the lure is balanced for versatile utility whether you are casting into shallows or trolling deeper structures. The clear diving lip is designed to reach depths of 3.3 ft to 6.9 ft (1.0 m - 2.1 m), making it effective for species like pike, walleye, and trout. Hardware includes three strong treble hooks mounted on sturdy split rings. Produced in Estonia, the lure is in 5/5 condition, maintaining a clean finish and bright coloration. Anglers often find success using a steady retrieve or a rhythmic stop-and-go technique to leverage the buoyancy of the Husky design.
