Museum Archive: Vintage Rebel Creek Creature, 1/8oz fishing lure #12666

Tipping the scales at a light 1/8 oz (3.4 g), this American-made specimen represents a unique chapter in Rebel's production history. A vibrant red front section provides a high-visibility target, merging into a mottled black and grey pattern along its 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) frame. Identified by product code 12666, the Creek Creature features an integrated dorsal fin that gives it a lifelike, aquatic profile. The wide, rounded diving lip is engineered to take this floating lure down to depths of 5 ft (1.5 m). Looking at the hardware, the two treble hooks are securely mounted, showing the attention to detail common in vintage USA production. The condition is rated as a 5/5, presenting a surface finish that remains crisp and bright. The line-tie is positioned directly on the lip, a design choice intended for stable tracking during a cast or troll.
