Vintage Rapala Original Floater F9 (Finland), 1/8oz G (Gold) fishing lure #21942

A rich Gold (G) foil finish wraps around the balsa wood body of this specimen, accented by a dark back and a white belly. This Rapala Original Floater F9 (Finland), listed under product code 21942, is a classic example of Finnish craftsmanship. Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm) and weighing 1/8 oz (4 g), it is designed to operate at depths from 3 ft (0.9 m) to 5 ft (1.5 m). The clear diving lip and the balsa construction are hallmarks of a design that dates back to the 1930s, intended for both casting and trolling applications. You will notice the distinctive yellow eyes and the small red paint detail at the nose, which are characteristic of this model. Equipped with two original treble hooks, the lure is preserved in 5/5 condition. Its buoyancy is tuned for various techniques, including steady retrieves or stop-and-go patterns.
