Museum Archive: Vintage Rebel Deep Wee R, 3/8oz Perch fishing lure #10865

Weighing in at 3/8 oz (10.5 g), the compact 2" (5 cm) frame of this Rebel Deep Wee R is engineered to reach depths of 8–10 ft (2.4–3.0 m). The Perch color scheme features a dark, textured back that transitions into a bright orange belly, offering a high-contrast visual signature in the water column. Identified by product code 10865, this floating crankbait is equipped with its original oversized clear diving lip, a hallmark of the Deep variant used for both casting and trolling. This specimen displays a few light surface marks on the sides and the original hardware shows some darkening, placing it in a 3.5/5 condition. The treble hooks remain securely attached via the original split rings, ready for a tackle box or display shelf.
