Museum Archive: Vintage Rebel spoonbill minnow jointed, 3/4oz Silver / Blue fishing lure #0397

A striking blue spine contrasts sharply against the textured silver sides of this classic jointed minnow. Weighing in at 3/4 oz (21 g), this Rebel spoonbill minnow jointed (Product Code 0397) measures a substantial 5 1/2" (14 cm) in length. The lure features a deep-reaching clear plastic diving lip, characteristic of the spoonbill series, designed to pull the bait down during a deep-trolling or casting retrieve. Its body is constructed in two sections, joined just behind the mid-section to allow for articulation. The silver-finished flanks are detailed with a fine-mesh scale pattern that catches light effectively alongside the bright yellow eyes with black pupils. Three robust treble hooks are spaced along the underside and tail. Manufactured in the USA, this specimen maintains a condition rating of 5/5, exhibiting an exceptionally clean finish on both the painted surfaces and the hardware.
