Museum Archive: Vintage Rebel Floater UV, 1/8oz Fire Tiger fishing lure #7850

Fire Tiger patterns like the one on this specimen are elevated by a specialized fluorescent finish that glows intensely under ultraviolet light. Carrying the product code 7850, this 2 1/2" (6.5cm) plastic floater reflects Rebel’s long-standing production history in the USA. The paint scheme transitions from a vivid green back peppered with bold black spots into a bright yellow midsection and an orange belly, accented by distinct red eyes. Its clear diving lip is engineered to reach depths between 3-4 ft (0.9-1.2 m), allowing for versatile use in both casting and trolling scenarios. Weighing 1/8 oz (4g), the lure is equipped with two clean treble hooks. This specific example remains in 5/5 condition, with the paint and plastic components looking fresh. When used in low-light environments, the UV Glow features provide a high-contrast profile that differs significantly from its daylight appearance.
