Original Floater
The Original Floater is a wobbler type of fishing lure, manufactured by Rapala.It is modeled after the first lure created by founder Lauri Rapala, in Finland in 1936.That prototype was made of cork wrapped in tinfoil and covered in melted film negatives as a cheap alternative to lacquer.Today, the original floater is made in seven different sizes and fourteen different colors.The lure, when retrieved, swims with an action that mimics that of a wounded baitfish.
