Vintage Rapala Original Floater F5, 3/32oz FT fishing lure #23852

Floating balsa wood serves as the foundation for this 2" (5cm) Irish-made lure, offering the natural buoyancy required for shallow-water presentations. This Rapala Original Floater F5, identified by product code 23852, features the FT color scheme, characterized by a dark olive back transitioning into barred gold sides. At a weight of 3/32oz (2.5g), the lure is optimized for casting or trolling at depths ranging from 2ft (0.6 m) to 6ft (1.8 m). The specimen is in 5/5 condition, maintaining the integrity of its finish and the clarity of its angled diving lip. Hardware consists of two sharp treble hooks secured by split rings to the internal through-wire construction. Painted yellow eyes with black pupils sit prominently on the tapered head, positioned just behind the wire line tie.
