RAPALA ORIGINAL FLOATER 18

The Rapala Original Floater® 7" Yellow Perch (F18YP) is a timeless favorite for anglers chasing big gamefish. Built from premium balsa wood, this legendary lure delivers Rapala’s signature wounded-minnow action, creating an irresistible swimming motion that perfectly mimics live prey. Whether you’re after pike, walleye, bass, or trout, the F18YP draws strikes in any condition.

The Yellow Perch color pattern replicates one of the most natural and productive baitfish in freshwater, featuring lifelike green, gold, and orange tones that shine in both clear and stained water. Its realistic look and subtle flash make it deadly on predators that key in on perch.

Exceptionally versatile, this lure can be twitched as a surface bait, retrieved as a shallow diver, or weighted for deeper run, always running straight and true at any speed. Each one is hand-tuned and tank-tested for perfect balance and action right out of the box.

Outfitted with three premium VMC® black nickel hooks, the F18YP guarantees solid hooksets and lasting performance. At 7 inches long and 11/16 oz., it dives 6–11 feet deep, making it a must-have lure for anglers who demand realism, durability, and results.
