Museum Archive: Rapala Original Floater F7 (Finland), 1/8oz G (Gold) fishing lure #17593

Gold foil scales wrap around this balsa wood body, creating a classic high-contrast look synonymous with the Finnish craft. This specific specimen, identified by product code 17593, weighs 1/8 oz (4 g) and measures 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length. As a condition 6 item, the lure is unused and comes in its original vintage packaging with the informative paper insert still tucked inside. The G (Gold) color scheme features a dark spine and a clean white belly, accented by a distinct red mark at the tail section. Its clear diving lip is set to navigate depths between 3-5 ft (0.9 - 1.5 m), making it suitable for a variety of casting and trolling applications. Two bronzed treble hooks are attached to the internal wire frame, and the head is finished with the traditional painted yellow and black eyes. The box itself bears the Rapala branding and confirms its origins from the factory in Vaaksy, Finland.
