Museum Archive: Rapala Original Floater, 1/8oz Natural fishing lure #2610

Natural silver-and-black scale patterning highlights the 2 3/4" (7 cm) balsa body of this vintage find. Carrying the Product Code 2610 and weighing in at 1/8 oz (3.4 g), the specimen showcases the craftsmanship of the Irish-made Rapire Teo production line from Inverin, Co. Galway. Everything about this piece is pristine; it is unused and remains in its original light blue box with the clear protective sleeve. Designed for a versatile approach, the construction is suited for casting or trolling with a working depth of 2 ft (0.6 m) to 6 ft (1.8 m). The lure is rigged with two sharp treble hooks and a signature clear plastic lip. Visual details include the distinct yellow eyes with black pupils and subtle orange highlights at the throat and tail, which complement the reflective silver foil finish.
