Museum Archive: Vintage Rebel Deep Crank, 3/8oz fishing lure #15265

Vibrant blue pigment across the back shifts into a detailed black honeycomb scale pattern on this mid-sized diver. Weighing 3/8 oz (10.5 g) and measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, this specimen is designated by product code 15265 and remains in unused 5/5 condition. The clear, elongated bill is designed to take the lure down to a working depth of 8-10 ft (2.4-3.0 m), making it a reliable choice for casting near submerged structures or trolling. A bright red eye provides a distinct focal point against the yellow-chartreuse flanks, a color combination frequent in American tackle boxes. The Rebel brand name is embossed directly into the transparent diving lip, characteristic of their USA-manufactured era. Both treble hooks are original and maintain their factory sharpness without any sign of use.
