Short Overview

The Rapala Original Floater F03 is an iconic floating minnow lure for light and ultralight spinning in shallow waters. Thanks to its balsa body, natural action, and small silhouette, it is an excellent choice for trout, chub, perch, and other smaller predators.

Description

This small Rapala lure is designed for precise presentation along the bank, under branches, along current seams, and around submerged obstacles. It works very convincingly on a slow to medium retrieve, and is especially effective with twitching and stop&go presentation, when the floating design helps the lure rise above snags. Thanks to its pronounced minnow silhouette and subtle vibration, it is excellent for fishing in streams, smaller rivers, and shallow lakes.
