Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Original Floater F6, 3/32oz SB fishing lure #11848

Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm) in length, the balsa body of this specimen demonstrates the classic profile associated with product code 11848. This lure features the SB color pattern, characterized by a deep blue back that gradients into silver sides with distinct horizontal foiling. Weighing 3/32oz (3g), the construction is designed to reach depths between 2 ft (0.6 m) and 6 ft (1.8 m) during a retrieve. The clear plastic lip is stamped with the manufacturer's name, sitting just below the iconic yellow eyes and a small red accent at the chin. It remains in excellent 5/5 condition, retaining its original treble hooks and clean split rings. The hand-tuned balsa wood provides a specific buoyancy that makes it suitable for both casting and trolling techniques.
