how to fish with the Original Rapala?
We can say that the Original Floating is the beginning of the story. Indeed, that first Rapala that Lauri Rapala himself made with a cobbler's knife and sandpaper, became the Original Floating, the best-selling lure in the world.
Since that first rapala, made in 1936 until today, no other lure has managed to unseat this one whose wounded fish action remains irresistible to fish all over the world.
Let's talk about its features
- It is made of floating balsa wood
- Fitted and tested by hand
- Highly versatile; it allows both surface and bottom fishing
- The most suitable fishing species: trout, black-bass, pike..
- On the surface: we can use the casting technique or the normal trolling style retrieve. We will do it just below the surface, trying to get the surface to "pump"
The most appropriate is to do this fishing action during the morning, as early as possible, since this is when the fish are closer to the surface.
If we use the trolling we must be aware that the farther the lure is away from us, the deeper it will reach. As a reference, keep in mind that a measurement of 15 meters gives the lure a swimming depth of 0.3 to 1.3 meters - Fishing at depth: we can fish at different depths, which will vary depending on the amount of lead we use in each case. The most advisable is always to start with little lead, and then increase it little by little until the desired depth is reached
