Rapala Original Floater F9, 1/8oz S (Silver) fishing lure #22177

Wrapped in its original box, the Silver (S) finish on this 3 1/2" (9 cm) balsa wood lure remains as crisp as the day it left the factory in Ireland. Identifiable by product code 22177, the Rapala Original Floater F9 is a lightweight classic at 1/8 oz (4 g), engineered to reach depths of 3 to 5 feet (0.9 – 1.5 m). Since it carries a condition rating of 6, this specimen is unused, preserved within its vintage packaging which displays the "Silver Plated" and "Silver Shiner" markings. The body is crafted from high-quality balsa wood, featuring a slim profile and a durable diving lip suitable for both casting and trolling. Its hardware consists of two dark-finished treble hooks securely attached to the hand-tuned body. This specific model reflects the long-standing tradition of the Original Floating Minnow, a design that has seen very few changes since its inception in the 1930s. The end flap provides the specific "SH" color code, confirming its place in a collector's or angler's specialized kit.
