Museum Archive: Vintage Rebel Blackstar , 1/2oz Black / Transparent fishing lure #9233

Featuring a striking two-tone contrast, the opaque black upper half of this plastic body transitions into a crystal-clear lower section. This Rebel Blackstar, carrying product code 9233, is a notable find for collectors of American-made tackle. The design incorporates a pair of black treble hooks and a clear diving bill integrated directly into the snout. Each eye features a bright red pupil that stands out against the dark head mold. Sized at 2 1/4" (6cm) and weighing 1/2oz (14g), the lure's construction allows for a noise-making internal rattle. The specimen is in excellent shape, showing no signs of use, warranting a condition rating of 5/5. A black snap is pre-attached to the eyelet on the clear bill.
