Rapala has been one of the angling world's favourite fishing lure manufacturer, innovating fishing tackle lures, since its establishment in 1936. Rapala is known for its exceptional ability to continuously improve lure fishing forever being deeply motivated by the needs of the predator fishers. All the Rapala lures have a wobble that imitates a wounded baitfish and can be seen in the superior know-how in lure design and traditional craftsmanship values that are combined with cutting edge technology and uncompromising quality control. Today’s technology allows very advanced and precise production methods, yet throughout the production process, the lure parts are repeatedly checked for quality. Rapala lures are still hand-tuned and tank-tested before packaging to assure your lure has the Rapala trademark swimming action that big fish cannot resist, straight out of the box.
This fabulous bait that started it all for Rapala and for the innovations of lure technology. The Floater lure is the purest form of the artificial lure with its basic design yet incredible effectiveness in the waters. This is not just a lure for catching bass, you can use it for saltwater game fish, inshore saltwater fish or many species of fresh-water fish. So this lure will certainly help you catch a wealth in a variety of predator fish in an array of fisheries.
The Balsa construction of the float gives it the ability to float and sink when you are trolling with the lure. The lure is also manufactured with a stainless through-wire, meaning the attachments of the lure are all deeply fastened throughout the body of the lure for secure, reliable performance. This lure is 9cm in body length, 5g in weight and has a running depth of 0.9-1.5m and you can securely catch the big feeders with the two treble, no.7, VMC black nickel hooks.
Takes little to no action at all to be effective. Whether twitched on the top as a surface bait, retrieved as a shallow runner, weighted with a split shot for medium depths or bottom walked off a three-way swivel or bottom bouncer, the wounded minnow action continues to be irresistible to gamefish on every continent around the world.
The lure is an effective twitch bait, so you can throw it, pop it, or pull it below the surface before letting it float back up to tease the near-by predators. The lure also makes a great jerk bait as you can give it perpetual underwater movement and catch fish that are lower in the depths of the water. You can cast this floater lure out, let it sit and its reasonable clarity will attract fish that are sitting on the surface. The lure is especially effective if there is a slight ripple in the water.
Extremely efficient for its natural minnow profile thanks to the colouration of the lures, whether you choose the Bleak, Firetiger or Rainbow trout baitfish designs. The modern classic colourations are reflective but subtle like chrome finished, the floater lure is finished so it is unobtrusive, so it attracts fish rather than spooks them.
For anglers that want to add to that lure collection and are new to lure fishing and really wants results with catching predator fish, get the original, timeless Floater lure from Rapala.
