Answer: 5 1/4"

Answer: 4.25"

Running Depth?

Is this a f11? Why in picture only 2 treble hooks thanks

i want to buy some 11cm Bleeding Chartreuse Shad why can't these be shipped to my address when all other shads can

is this a true F11? picture only has 2 hooks but a true 11 has 3

Answer: Hey Jon! This is a true F11, we apologize for the discrepancy between the image and the model. We have all models available so as we work to improve our product display, we have the same image for all models. It does in fact have the 3 hooks.

Answer: You're correct, f9 two hooks f11 is three.

Why does Rapala make it hard to figure out what size you're ordering?

Answer: hello, euro metric vs. u.s. system of meas.

Some of the pictures disagree with the color descriptions. Which is correct, the picture or the description?

Answer: The picture is not the actual lure if you want an F11 it will be 4 3/8" inches long and have 3 treble hooks on it just pick the color you want.

How big is the bleeding pearl?

Harold Jackson : colors

muskie fishing

Dr. No : Best All Around Lure Ever Made

I've been fishing with this lure for decades and it's a must have for any tackle box. Rapala products are always top of the mark quality.

DN : Caught Walleyes on the St Croix Wisc/Mn Border

This lure is worth the money. I caught many walleyes while trolling with a 3-way swivel rig (2 oz bell sinker) while my friend caught one. It also catches bass. It exhibits a very attractive minnow-like movement.

Nardi : Perfect

Classic, I’m always catching fish on this and buy them almost yearly, best floating jerkbait(in the original color) I’ve ever used

Michael Fonseca : Five Stars

One of my favs! I've never ever been skunked using this lure

Mark R : Just what I needed

perfect - ready for smallies in canada

frank : Top shelf lure

When I received the yellow perch lure it wasn't the one I wanted was going to return it decided to keep it went out on the boat the next day put yellow perch lure on my pole the smallest bass out of the 9 I cought was 1 1/2 lbs the biggest bass 3lbs I say good add to any tackle box

John : Love this bait

Love it works great

Amazon Customer : They don’t make them

Lip broke off with first snag

Kim : great lure

Great lure - rapala

Donald John the Entertainer : Performance

Great lure. A Rapala is a trusted and effective lure and should be a part of anybody's tackle box.

Tim Crolley : Dying Minnow Flutter

Floating rapalas can be trolled or cast, but I have found them to excel when fished with a dying minnow flutter.
You can feel the temple of the thumps, through your fingers and tune it in for unbelievable results. Just think back about being a kid and tossing a sunfish back that was terribly hooked, they would struggle then be still, then try to swim again. You can get those vibrations with rapalas and you will catch many more fish than someone just reeling these lures in. A friend had one bass to my 28 as a comparison of how effective this is. I can guarantee a Muskie in two short- few hours- afternoons fishing, and 90% will get one the first day doing this with bigger rapalas. Try it and you will love it.

Salvador Chavarría Juárez : genial, me encantó

excelente calidad en todo

DN : Caught Walleyes on the St Croix Wisc/Mn Border

Jake : Caught my first bass with this

Started fishing seriously about 2 months ago. Iowa fishing for Bass. Had no luck on many different lures, jigs, and techniques.

Finally slapped on the Rapala Original Floater size 11 and BAM. Caught my first two bass.

Alex K : Great Lure

True to the Rapala name, this lure is outstanding in every way. Strong balsa wood body, quality hardware, sharp hooks, vibrant colors, accurate reproduction of prey fish, swims straight and has excellent side to side movement. Dives 3 - 4 feet.

charles frey : good

good

Catmash : Big Lewers catch big fish

Early bird catches the worm. I love when I get product on time if not early!! Wow!! Thank you thank you thank you!

THOMAS A HIDAY : Excellent!

There is nothing for getting your heart started on a lazy morning like keeper hitting a surface bait. Some times they just suck it under, but sometimes they just explode out of the water. If they are biting this wounded minnow will draw them out of their lair. They hit it because they are mad.

Bill B : Canada tested!

I use this lure wild trolling up in Ontario Canada for northern pike, lake trout, and walleye. I shared it with my dad and we both caught a number of fish, mostly northern in the bays but I'm sure it will catch all sorts of fish

Donald John the Entertainer : Performance

Great lure. A Rapala is a trusted and effective lure and should be a part of anybody's tackle box.

charles frey : good

good

Ehan : fraud, copy..

What was sent to me is not an original yellow perch .. this is a fake, a copy. it is poor quality, has manufacture defects, is not the right color either

Dany Letourneau : Best lure, highly recommended.

My go to lure for lakes and reservoirs. Best lure I have in my box, and I don’t see it getting overthrown any time soon. Caught my personal best fish of 5 lbs on the first day with it. Absolute tank lure, highly recommend. So far I’ve caught LM bass, pickerel, trout, and perch.

Jordan : Just got it today and I love it

I went to the post office today to pick up a different package and they told me that I had another package (this) so I picked it up too and headed out to the lake. After an hour, I caught 2 bass and a crappie, all of decent size. Took them home and they were the best fish I've ever eaten. The only problem is when the fish decide to try to eat as much of the "fish" as possible, getting all 3 of the hooks down their throats. It's hell trying to get them off, but other than that, it's a nice lure.

EDIT: The second time I took this fishing, I got a snag and lost it. Oh well, guess I should be more careful next time. I'll probably buy a new one, but not at the moment as I'm content using worms.

Jordan : Just got it today and I love it

pikey : the best

best lure that i know,,, just right to fish with

raygunzzz : What's to say ? It's a go-to classic.

Ye ole standby.

T.V. : It is a good one

Too much money

Manny soin : Awesome lure!

Great for catching bass and pike.

Sauce : Bass on the first cast

Rotated this in with a rattlin shad that’s worked well and got a good hit. Also caught one on the way out trolling.

Bill B : Canada tested!

dboatrig : one of the best all-around fishing lures is this Rapala Original Floating minnow ...

In my opinion, one of the best all-around fishing lures is this Rapala Original Floating minnow in silver color. Over the years I've caught both trout and bass with it. It's a classic.

jmtrout : It works!!

Caught lots of fish with this lure!!

Dillon Broadway : Comes with 3 treble hooks unlike pic only showing 2

Arrived on time and correct size as well as 3 treble hooks unlike the picture which has 2. I've always love the classic rapala rogues and have caught bigger fish on them and more fish than any lure in my tackle box. Even Bass pro did not have these colors and every fisherman knows that colors can mean the difference in a good day and bad day. Thank u rapala for coming through yet again. I know I will catch some big bass with these!
