Originally designed in 1936 by Lauri Rapala, the Original Floating Rapala is still Rapala&';s number one seller. The integrity of the design makes it the most versatile of fishing lures. 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 sinker rig, the wounded minnow action continues to be irresistible to game fish. After nearly 40 years, Lauri&';s secret has not been duplicated.
