RapalaRapala Original Floater

I've used Rapala Balsawood Minnows for fishing for years, with great success. When adding to and upgrading the contents of my Survival Fishing Kit, it was an easy choice to add a couple of small Rapala #03 Floating/Diving Balsawood fishing lures to the kit, a silver side minnow lure and a wounded/bleeding shad lure. The finish on all Rapala lures is exceptional, looking exactly like a baitfish in the water. All Rapala lures run straight and true in the water, or can easily be adjusted to do so, making it easy for a fisherman to make a realistic presentation to the target fish he's trying to catch. The treble hooks on Rapala lures are very sharp, helping to insure a solid hook-up when a target fish hits it, and they are placed so they won't get hung up on each other or any of the lure's hardware when the lure is cast, which means more actual fishing time with each cast. Made of top-quality materials, Rapala lures are durable and will give you years of fishing. If you eventually need to replace the hooks, the split rings that attach the hooks to the lure make doing that a simple procedure. My tackle box is never without a few different sizes and colors/patterns of Rapala Balsawood lures. My Survival Fishing Kit won't be without them either.

It performs consistent with other floating rapala products I have used for 40+ years.

I use the 3 strictly for trolling for trout. It's too light to cast even on an ultralight. I use mostly the 5's for smallmouth while canoeing. Also on an ultralight. I catch bass, walleye, pike, etc on them. My friend caught a 37" pike on a 5 floater. Any size can be used with an ultralight rod. Depending how far you want to cast, 9's and up for medium action rods. These lures are lighter than most, even for their size since they are balsa and not plastic. The majority of lures I own are floating rapalas of varying sizes and colors.

Awesome minnow

The original rapala will never go out of style. It just reliably catches fish. There's nothing else to say.

Great for trolling

Great quality lure. It has a good swimming motion and will stay about 6in under water if you point your rod tip down and keep the speed up. It will float to the surface if it is not moving quick enough.I use it here in Colorado and have had a lot of luck catching largemouth bass and white crappie with it at Rocky Mountain Arsenal. Its pretty much the only rig/lure that has worked for me at this lake.

Always a good lure. I have to wait for fall conditions here in Somerset County, Pennsylvania for the Rapala to works it's magic. 4, 5 pound bass and all other game fish, northern pike, musky, largemouth and Smallmouth Bass and Walleye's

being a long time fisherman, I was aware that this bait was the F3 size ultra light size bait. As mentioned by others, the lure pictured is the F18, a much larger bait. Amazon should probably replace the picture with the correct one to avoid confusion.

A size f3 size is way to small to catch anything and not worth 10 bucks go to a bass pro cabelas or Canadian tire and see what you buy….. I thought I was getting an f11 and I got an f3

Hay que tomar en cuenta que el producto que se muestra en la imagen no es el que llega, ya que se muestra un señuelo más grande y en realidad es muy pequeño.

Es super efectivo siempre salva mi fia de pesca

Not what I expected. Not worth half a star. It is so so tiny. The hooks are nothing but craps. Not worth my money. I’m asking for a full refund. I had to put a star or else the system would process my review
