Museum Archive: Rebel Deep Floater WEE-CRAWFISH, 1/3oz fishing lure #14678

Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm), the segmented body of this 1970s specimen reflects the detailed anatomical molding Rebel pioneered in Fort Smith, Arkansas. The shell features a mottled brown and tan finish designed to imitate a natural crawdad, while the underside reveals soft orange accents near the claws. Weighing 1/3 oz (9 g), the lure is fitted with a substantial clear plastic lip that allows it to dive to depths of 8 ft (2.4 m). Both treble hooks are original, maintaining their dark finish and sharp points. This specific Rebel Deep Floater WEE-CRAWFISH, identified by product code 14678, remains unused in its original vintage packaging, which corresponds to a condition rating of 6. The box retains its classic red and blue branding and a period-correct price sticker on the side, marking its history as a reliable choice for casting or trolling for bass and zander. Each segment of the carapace is clearly defined, showcasing the plastic injection techniques used before modern mass production shifted styles.
