Rapala Original Floating Minnow F09

This is the lure that started it all. Lauri Rapala's handcrafted balsa minnow is still one of the most proven fish-catchers ever made, thanks to its signature off-balance "wounded minnow" wobble.

• Balsa wood body with a natural minnow profile
• Floats at rest and dives 3-5 ft on a steady retrieve
• Size 09: 3-1/2 in long, 3/16 oz
• Two No. 8 black nickel VMC treble hooks
• Versatile: twitch it on top, run it shallow, add split shot for mid-depth or bottom-walk it

Bass, trout, walleye, pike and panfish all hit it, so every tackle box should carry a few.
