Museum Archive: Vintage Rebel Crank R, 1/3oz fishing lure #16335

Embossed clearly on the rounded diving lip are the identifying Rebel and Crank-R markings, a signature trait of this American-made vintage lure. Weighing 1/3 oz (10 g) with a body length of 2 inches (5 cm), the specimen showcases a classic yellow-to-white gradient finish topped with a bold black scale pattern and a distinct lateral spot. A bright orange eye with a black pupil and a dash of red paint near the bill provide high-contrast focal points. Designated with product code 16335, this floating model is engineered for casting or trolling at depths between 3 and 5.2 feet (0.9 - 1.6 m). The hardware consists of two original treble hooks, which remain sharp and free of corrosion. Maintaining a condition rating of 5/5, the exterior finish is exceptionally well-preserved, showing no signs of hook drags or paint loss. The clear plastic bill is securely integrated into the body, ready for standard subsurface presentation along rocky points or weed edges.
