Vintage Rapala Original Floater F18, 3/4oz RT fishing lure #23719

Measuring 7" (18 cm) in length, this Irish-made specimen is a substantial example of the classic F18 profile. The balsa wood body is finished in the RT (Rainbow Trout) pattern, displaying a detailed array of small black spots over a silver-to-green gradient and a distinct pink lateral band. Carrying product code 23719, the lure weighs in at 3/4 oz (21 g), making it a significant choice for targeting larger predators via casting or trolling techniques. The clear plastic diving lip is engineered to reach depths between 4–6 ft (1.2–1.8 m) during the retrieve. Three original treble hooks are mounted to the underside and tail, and the overall state of the lure earns a condition rating of 5/5. The paintwork is notably clean, especially the red accents near the gill plates and the well-preserved yellow and black eyes. Historical craftsmanship from the Ireland production era is evident in the assembly of the hardware and the precise application of the trout-imitation finish.
