Vintage Rapala Original Floater F7 (Finland), 1/8oz B fishing lure #23853

Glistening with a blue and gold foil finish, the body of this Rapala Original Floater F7 measures 2 3/4" (7 cm) and represents the legendary balsa construction from Finland. This specific model, product code 23853, is designed to reach depths between 3-5 ft (0.9 - 1.5 m) whether you are casting into structure or trolling open water. The 1/8 oz (4 g) weight provides a delicate presence, while the iconic red chin and yellow eyes serve as the visual triggers anglers have trusted for decades. Maintaining a 5/5 condition rating, the lure shows no wear on its dual treble hooks or the clear diving lip. The 'B' color designation remains a favorite for its ability to mimic various baitfish in clear to stained water. Its construction traces back to Lauri Rapala's original 1930s design, where the use of high-quality balsa became the gold standard for buoyancy and profile stability.
