The Rapala Original Floating Minnow is a legendary fishing lure that has caught more world-record fish than any other lure. Made with a balsa wood body and a strong lip, this lure can be fished anywhere in the water column and produces a perfect wounded minnow action. The design of the Floating Minnow has remained virtually unchanged since it was first created by Lauri Rapala in the 1930s, with the lure still made from buoyant and durable balsa wood. The versatility of this lure is one of its greatest strengths, as it can be twitched on the surface, cranked steadily to dive a few feet, or made to hover at almost any depth with the addition of a split shot. Its proven track record of catching record-breaking fish makes it a favorite among anglers around the world.
