Measuring exactly 5 1/2" (14cm), this gold-patterned balsa wood lure represents the classic minnow profile that put Finland on the map. The shimmering gold finish across the body transitions into a dark back, while a clear diving lip is positioned to target depths between 2 ft and 11 ft (0.6 - 3.3 m). Labeled under product code 2574, the specimen weighs 2/3oz (18g) and maintains a condition rating of 5/5. Three well-preserved treble hooks are distributed along the belly and tail, making it a robust choice for both casting and trolling. This Rapala Original Floater features signature yellow eyes and the hand-tuned construction synonymous with its Finnish heritage. The buoyancy of the balsa allows for varied presentations, from surface twitching to deeper retrieves, facilitating a wounded minnow movement.
