Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Original Floater F5, 3/32oz Chartreuse fishing lure #7399

Dressed in a vibrant Chartreuse that reacts to UV light, this 2" (5 cm) minnow-style plug shows off the classic Finnish craftsmanship anglers have relied on for decades. Labeled under product code 7399, the Rapala Original Floater F5 is constructed from the brand's signature buoyant balsa wood, allowing it to navigate the water column effectively whether you are using a steady retrieve or a stop-and-go method. A delicate honeycomb pattern covers the pearlescent sides, contrasting with the bright lime back and a soft orange-pink hue visible at the throat. This specimen weighs in at 3/32 oz (2.3 g) and features a clear plastic lip designed for a running depth of 2 - 6 ft (0.6 - 1.8 m). For the collector, the yellow-painted eyes and clean metal hardware are standout features, maintaining a condition rating of 5/5. Two dark treble hooks are secured by split rings to the belly and tail, ready for casting or light trolling duties.
