Weighing just 3/32oz (3g), this vintage specimen features a vibrant orange and gold foil finish that transitions into a clean white belly. The 2 1/4" (6cm) balsa wood body is the foundation of the Rapala legacy, a material chosen by Lauri Rapala in Finland for its natural buoyancy. This specific Original Floater F6, identified by product code 11579, is equipped with its original hardware and a clear plastic lip stamped with the manufacturer's name. It is designed to operate at a depth of 2ft to 6ft (0.6 - 1.8 m), making it a versatile choice for both casting and light trolling. The painted yellow eyes with black pupils remain crisp, contributing to the lure's overall 5/5 condition rating. Every detail, from the balsa construction to the classic treble hooks, reflects the traditional manufacturing standards established in the mid-20th century.
