Silver foil (Color: S) defines the sides of this 3/32 oz (2.5 g) balsa minnow, reflecting the heritage of a design that dates back to the 1930s. This Rapala Original Floater F5, carrying product code 19158, remains a benchmark for balsa wood construction, a material chosen for its unique buoyancy and responsiveness. The 2" (5 cm) body features a dark black back that provides a sharp contrast against the silver scales, topped off with the signature painted yellow eyes. Manufactured in Estonia, this specimen shows a clear diving lip capable of reaching depths from 2ft (0.6 m) to 6ft (1.8 m). It is equipped with two dark-finished treble hooks, both appearing sharp and ready for the water. The overall condition is excellent, earning a 5/5 rating for its well-preserved finish and clean hardware. Whether used for light casting or trolling, the depth is easily managed by the angler's retrieval speed, allowing for effective coverage in varied environments.
