Tipping the scales at 1/8 oz (4 g), this balsa wood minnow represents the heritage of the Rapala Original Floater F9. Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm), the specimen features the iconic Silver (S) pattern, where a dark back transitions into a silver-flecked body with a white underside and a small red flash beneath the eye. This lure, identified by product code 15768, was manufactured in Ireland, marking a distinct period in the brand's production history. The clear diving lip allows it to operate at depths between 3 - 5 ft (0.9 - 1.5 m) for casting or trolling. Its construction stays loyal to Lauri Rapala’s 1930s vision, utilizing buoyant balsa to mimic the appearance of a baitfish. The condition of this item is 5/5, with the original paint and hardware remaining well-preserved. Two treble hooks are secured by bronzed split rings at the belly and tail.
