Museum Archive: Vintage Rabble Rouser, 3/16oz Yellow / Green / Red fishing lure #6657

Produced entirely in the USA, this Rabble Rouser specimen stands out with its signature yellow, green, and red finish. Measuring 6.5 cm (2 1/2") and weighing 3/16 oz (6 g), the lure is an excellent example of the bold aesthetic choices seen in mid-century American tackle. The body transitions from a deep yellow belly into a textured green top, punctuated by large, concentric red-and-yellow eye features that are synonymous with this brand. Identified by product code 6657, the lure is rigged with two treble hooks and designed for surface to shallow work, reaching depths of 1.6 ft (0.5 m). For collectors focusing on American-made craftsmanship, the condition of this piece is exceptional, earning a 5/5 rating for its well-preserved paint and hardware. Whether used for casting or trolling for pike and perch, the construction reflects the durability that Rabble Rouser Fishing Lures was known for during its manufacturing history. Fine texturing along the flanks mimics a subtle scale pattern, catching the light across the tri-color gradient.
