Museum Archive: Vintage Rabble Rouser Rouster, 1/2oz Yellow / Black fishing lure #6658

Yellow and black cross-hatching across the back immediately identifies this Rabble Rouser Rouster as a standout piece of American tackle history. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and weighing a solid 1/2 oz (13 g), this 6658 model is designed for both casting and trolling applications. The oversized yellow eyes with their centered black pupils give the lure the characteristic bug-eyed look that collectors recognize from this brand. As a noisy, floating specimen, it is capable of reaching depths of 11.5 ft (3.5 m) when retrieved. The clear, stepped diving lip and dual treble hooks appear in excellent form, reflecting its 5/5 condition rating. Because all lures from this manufacturer were produced exclusively in the USA, the construction maintains a robust quality suitable for targeting pike or zander.
