Description

The Floater Elite FE85 is a floating balsa minnow built from Rapala's premium balsa stock, giving it a lively wobble-roll action. It measures 8.5cm and weighs 6.5g, runs at 0.9-1.2m, and is rigged with two size 10 hooks on a high-strength stainless-steel through-wire construction.

It works across a wide range of retrieve speeds, from fast to slow, and its low centre of gravity gives excellent flight balance for long casts. It uses lead-free weights and comes in eco-friendly, recycled-paper packaging.

Information

The swimming action

The Floater Elite's low centre of gravity and through-body stainless wire give it a smooth wobble-roll that holds together across a wide range of retrieve speeds, from a fast burn to a slow crawl. Premium balsa construction keeps the action lively and consistent.

When to throw it

A versatile floating minnow for working mid-depth water over flats, drop-offs and along structure, effective whenever bass are keying on baitfish moving through that zone.

How to work it

Works equally well on a fast, steady retrieve or slowed right down with occasional twitches; its balanced flight lets it cast long distances to cover water efficiently.

The setup it likes

Suits a 7' medium spinning or baitcasting rod with 8–12 lb fluorocarbon and a 2500 reel.
