Tipping the scales at a mere 3/32 oz (2.5 g), this balsa wood classic represents the craftsmanship Rapala brought to their Irish production facility. Measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, the 13031 model is finished in the Fire Tiger color pattern, featuring a deep green dorsal area that transitions into a vibrant yellow-orange belly with bold dark vertical bars along the flanks. The clear, angled diving lip is factory-set to reach depths between 2 - 6 ft (0.6 - 1.8 m) during a standard retrieve. Its lightweight balsa construction provides high buoyancy, a technical characteristic that has defined the Floater series for decades. This specific specimen carries a condition rating of 5/5, showing a clean finish and original bronzed treble hooks. The wire-through construction remains solid, with the nose and tail eyelets firmly anchored for casting or trolling. Anglers typically utilize the F5 size for light-tackle applications in shallow structures.
