Vintage Rapala Floating Minnow Fishing Lure – Silver/Gold Finish – 3-Hook Design
$7.00 USD
This is a vintage Rapala-style floating minnow lure in a silver-gold scaled finish with a translucent diving lip. The lure features three rusted treble hooks, a long slender balsa-wood-style body, and realistic painted gill and eye details.
Lures of this shape and lip design are most commonly associated with Rapala Original Floating Minnows, first introduced in the 1930s by Lauri Rapala in Finland, though without visible markings it may be a similar-era copy or a generic brand. These were prized for their natural swimming action, mimicking injured baitfish, making them highly effective for bass, pike, and walleye.
Condition: Fair to Good — heavy surface wear, discoloration, and rust on hooks, but body and lip are intact.
