Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Original Floater F9, 1/8oz Perch fishing lure #20460

Balsa wood serves as the lightweight foundation for this Estonian-made specimen, maintaining a design legacy that stretches back to the 1930s. Dressed in the classic Perch pattern, the 3 1/2" (9 cm) body showcases a vibrant transition from dark greens to yellow scales, finished with bold vertical bars and a bright orange underside. Weighing 1/8 oz (4 g), this Rapala Original Floater F9 carries the Product Code 20460 and is presented in 5/5 condition with clean hardware and a clear diving lip. This specific lip configuration is designed for reaching depths of 3ft (0.9 m) to 5ft (1.5 m) when casting or trolling. The lure features a traditional two-treble hook setup and distinct yellow eyes, characteristic of this timeless balsa construction.
