Balsa Minnow Rapala Original Floater 7cm 4g Perch
The legendary Rapala Original Floater in a 7 cm profile, 4 g weight, and classic Perch (P) colourway is the archetypal wounded-minnow hard bait trusted by anglers worldwide. Crafted from premium balsa wood, it delivers an unmistakably responsive and natural wounded-fish swimming action across all retrieve speeds, from the slowest crawl to erratic high-speed burning. Its floating buoyancy enables it to slowly rise to the surface during retrieve pauses, neatly bypassing submerged snags while triggering explosive reaction strikes. Reinforced by a stainless steel through-wire construction and armed with ultra-sharp VMC Black Nickel treble hooks, each lure is individually hand-tuned and tank-tested to guarantee the iconic Rapala swimming action right out of the box.
