Vintage Rapala Original Floater F5, 3/32oz G (gold) fishing lure #19789

Slightly less than a tenth of an ounce, the 3/32oz (2.5g) weight of this balsa body defines its legendary buoyancy and sensitivity. Measuring exactly 2" (5cm) in length, this specimen is finished in the G (Gold) colorway, showing a dark back that transitions into textured, metallic-gold flanks and a small red accent under the chin. Hand-tuned to run at depths of 2–6 ft (0.6–1.8 m), the Rapala Original Floater F5 represents a lineage of craftsmanship dating back to Lauri Rapala’s first 1930s carvings. This particular item, identified by product code 19789, remains in 4/5 condition, showing well-preserved hardware and the iconic 'Finland' stamp clearly visible on the diving lip. Two golden treble hooks are securely attached to the belly and tail, ready for casting or light trolling. The painted yellow-and-black eyes give the lure its classic character, while the balsa construction remains the standard for mimicking the behavior of a wounded minnow.
