Rapala Original Floating

The Rapala Original Floating is the balsa minnow that started the Rapala line, and its wounded-minnow wobble still draws strikes from almost every kind of fish. Twitch it on the surface, reel it as a shallow runner, add a split shot to fish it a little deeper, or drag it near the bottom behind a three-way swivel or bottom bouncer. Every bait is hand-tuned and tank-tested so it swims correctly straight out of the box.
