The lure that started it all – the Rapala Original Floater – is still at it all these years after Lauri Rapala first threw his cork and tinfoil prototype on a Finnish lake in 1936. This F07 model measures 2 3/4 inches, weighs 1/8 ounce and runs up to 5 feet deep unassisted. Whether twitched on top as a surface bait, retrieved as a shallow runner, weighted with a split shot for medium depth or bottom walked off a three-way swivel or bottom bouncer, the wounded minnow action continues to be irresistible to trout, walleye, bass, and panfish everywhere.
