A true tackle box classic, the Original Floating Rapala was an easy "Best Of" choice. This balsa-wood wonder skirts along the surface, bobbing and hopping like someone in a boy band. The movement imitates some baitfish perfectly, driving fish absolutely bonkers! The Finns know a thing or two about fishing, that's for sure. And it shows in this multi-purpose lure that's as effective catching bass, walleye and trout in freshwater as it is catching tarpon, redfish and striper in saltwater. Experiment with different retrieves: darting and pausing; twitching and pausing; slow and steady…this lure can be maneuvered in lots of ways, which at the end of the day means lots of fish. If you've never kissed a lure, you better practice puckering up.

From independent research, we selected the Floating Rapala as a 3LUXE "Best Of". To see our other two Lure selections visit our Lure Overview.
