Museum Archive: Vintage Rebel Crickhopper Ultralight, 3/32oz Yellow Grasshopper fishing lure #23997

Yellow Grasshopper patterning across the 1 1/2" (4 cm) body gives this Rebel Crickhopper Ultralight its distinct, high-visibility look. This specimen, identified by product code 23997, tips the scales at 3/32 oz (2.6 g) and is preserved in excellent 5/5 condition. The design features a clear diving lip positioned to reach depths of 0 - 3 ft (0.9 m), making it a versatile choice for both casting and trolling in shallow waters. Realistic black stippling mimics the anatomy of a field insect, covering the segmented flanks and the characteristic large hind legs typical of the Rebel insect series. To facilitate secure hooksets when targeting perch, pike, or pike perch, the lure is fitted with two belly-mounted treble hooks. Its floating buoyancy allows for specialized topwater presentations before the lip engages for a shallow sub-surface retrieve.
