Hopea Silver (11S) scaling gives this 4 3/8'' (11 cm) balsa wood specimen a distinct, reflective profile that defines the vintage Finnish aesthetic. Listed under product code 2723, this 3/16 oz (6 g) Original Floater arrives in its characteristic blue "Original Finnish Minnow" box. The condition is a strong 5/5, showing bright foiling on the sides and well-preserved black paint on the dorsal surface. Its clear diving lip is designed to reach depths of 3.9-5.9 ft (1.2-1.8 m) when retrieved, making it suitable for both casting and trolling applications. Two dark-finished treble hooks are attached via robust split rings to the internal wire frame of the buoyant balsa body. The end flap of the packaging confirms its "KELLUVA" (floating) designation, maintaining the heritage of Lauri Rapala's early designs.
