RAPALA ORIGINAL FLOATER 18

The Rapala Original Floater® 7" Rainbow Trout (F18RT) is a timeless classic designed to deliver that legendary Rapala action that’s irresistible to gamefish worldwide. Handcrafted from premium balsa wood, this lure features the iconic wounded-minnow wobble that mimics struggling baitfish, triggering aggressive strikes from trophy-sized bass, pike, walleye, and trout.

The Rainbow Trout color pattern shines with realistic hues of pink, green, and silver, making it especially effective in clear water or when targeting predators that feed on trout. Its lifelike shimmer and natural profile perfectly imitate one of the most common prey fish in freshwater systems.

Exceptionally versatile, this lure can be twitched across the surface, retrieved as a shallow runner, or weighted for deeper presentations, all while maintaining its perfectly balanced, true-running motion.

Each lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested to guarantee flawless performance straight out of the box and comes equipped with three sharp VMC® black nickel hooks for secure hooksets.

At 7 inches long and 11/16 oz., the Rapala Original Floater® F18RT runs 6–11 feet deep, making it a proven choice for anglers who demand realistic action, durable design, and unmatched versatility.
