Museum Archive: Vintage ​Rebel Crank R, 1/3oz fishing lure #15774

Glittering with a dense gold and silver flake finish, this Rebel Crank R specimen highlights the bold aesthetic choices common in vintage American lure design. Weighing 1/3 oz (10 g) and measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, the body features a translucent base with a prominent pink eye that serves as a focused target point. This floating crankbait is engineered to reach depths of 3 ft to 5.2 ft (0.9–1.6 m), suited for both casting and trolling techniques. Identified by product code 15774, it carries the heritage of Rebel’s USA-based production. The hardware consists of two clean treble hooks attached via sturdy split rings, and the clear diving lip remains firmly set. With a condition rating of 5/5, the lure's sparkling finish shows no signs of wear, maintaining the luster it had when it first left the factory.
