Vintage Rapala Original Floater F5, 3/32oz fishing lure #9338

Carved from buoyant balsa wood, this 2" (5cm) minnow profile represents the foundation of a globally recognized fishing legacy. Weighing in at a delicate 3/32oz (2.5g), the F5 model—identified by product code 9338—retains the classic silhouette established in Finland. The specimen features a dark back transitioning into a gold-toned scale pattern on the sides, accented by a white belly and bright yellow eyes. A clear plastic lip is positioned to facilitate diving depths between 2ft (0.6 m) and 6ft (1.8 m). This specific lure remains in good vintage shape, warranting a 4/5 condition rating. Its hardware includes two original treble hooks, ready for casting or trolling applications. The versatility of the design allows it to be worked at various levels of the water column, a testament to the original 1930s engineering that utilized the natural properties of balsa.
