Museum Archive: Rebel Arrowhead, 3/8oz Gold plated with 24 carat gold fishing spoon #17649

Glistening with a genuine 24-carat gold-plated finish, this 3/8 oz (10.5 g) Rebel Arrowhead remains a preserved example of 1980s lure design. The stamped metal body, measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm), carries the iconic Rebel logo deeply embossed into the gold surface. Cataloged under product code 17649, this specific model S551 is rigged with a single large treble hook and a small red plastic attractor tab. The original packaging, marked with a 1984 copyright from PRADCO’s Plastics Research and Development Corp in Fort Smith, Arkansas, confirms its vintage pedigree. This specimen is unused and remains sealed in its original retail blister card. A small 'Genuine Gold Plating' sticker is still applied to the front, highlighting the premium finish chosen for this casting spoon. The reverse of the card features bilingual text and the Sport Fish Restoration logo, reflecting its era of production and distribution.
