Rapala Original Floater 07 Fishing Lure – Rainbow Trout Pattern, 2.5 inch

Big action in a small bait

Rapala's Original Floater 07 delivers lively minnow-like action from a compact, ultra-light body. Its weighted construction helps it cast far for its size, while a slow-sinking profile and a unique lip shape create an enticing wobble and rolling motion that gamefish can’t ignore.

Designed for versatility, this lure features external scales and 3D holographic eyes that catch light from every angle as it moves. The natural minnow profile mirrors a wounded baitfish in the water, amplifying its appeal without relying on flash alone. Each lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested to ensure consistent action straight from the box.
