Measuring exactly 4 1/4" (11cm) in length, this Irish-made balsa wood minnow represents the timeless design pioneered by Lauri Rapala nearly a century ago. The classic Silver (S) finish on this specimen is remarkably clean, showcasing the high-quality craftsmanship associated with the Ireland production era. Weighing 3/16oz (6g), the 21281 product code identifies it as the F11 model, a versatile choice for both casting and trolling. It features three treble hooks and a clear diving lip designed to reach working depths between 3ft (0.9 m) and 5ft (1.5 m). The silver body is complemented by a dark back and a subtle scales pattern, with a distinct red-tipped throat area near the lip. Finding one of these in its original packaging is a treat for any collector; this lure remains unused, appearing just as it did when it first left the factory. The box itself highlights the "Rapala Fishing Club," providing a nice bit of historical context for the brand's heritage.
