The Rapala Original Floating F03 (BOSD) is the lure that started it all, still regarded as the ultimate “go-to” bait. Whether twitched on top as a surface bait, retrieved as a shallow runner, weighted with a split shot for medium depth, or bottom-walked off a three-way swivel, its wounded minnow action remains irresistible to fish everywhere. Constructed from premium balsa and armed with black nickel VMC® hooks, each lure is hand tuned and tank tested to deliver its legendary action right out of the box.
