on most rapalas, the letter is an abbreviation for the model (F for floater) and the number is how many centimeters long the bait is (11 cm long)

What muddy,mrlite and dave said but add firetiger too

+2 for F-11 it is a solid producing lure.  I also like the blue & silver.

I like the 9's and 11's, in a silver, gold, goby, perch, or shiner

several years ago, they had a color named silver minnow, it was actually kinda a baby blue, baby bass looking pattern, I loved it but they discontinued the color, and my last couple were stolen when I had an old tackle box stolen probably 6 years ago.

Great bait, a real classic.  If you're after trout I'd suggest the Gold /black back in F9.  Bass seem to prefer a Silver/black in F11.

I have the original and a jointed version in silver/black and I can't get over all the people who swear by it...I still tie one of them on here and there and never get a bite.  I seem to have the best luck with a gold fluorescent red while the wife gets 90% of her fish on a blue and silver.  Second choice would be the firetiger.

I like sizes 9 and 11 for bass in chartreuse silver, natural perch, hot orange, and fire tiger.
