Museum Archive: Vintage Rabble Rouser Angel-Eye, 2/5oz Blue Metallic fishing lure #7770

Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm) in length, this specimen highlights the bold design choices that made the Rabble Rouser line a staple in American tackle boxes. This Rabble Rouser Angel-Eye, carrying product code 7770, features the signature oversized, chartreuse-rimmed eye that defines the series. The color pattern is a classic Blue Metallic that transitions into silver sides and a red belly, a combination frequently used for varied water conditions. Tipping the scales at 2/5 oz (12 g), the lure is equipped with its original belly and tail treble hooks. The most distinct technical feature is the translucent amber-tinted diving lip, which is characteristic of this manufacturer's output from their Arkansas production era. There is some visible finish loss and light scuffing on the side and near the eye, reflecting a condition rating of 4/5. The metallic sheen remains bright despite these signs of previous use, and the hardware shows only light surface aging typical for a vintage lure of this age.
