Museum Archive: Vintage Rebel Deep Wee R, 3/8oz tiger fishing lure #19426

Brown vertical bars over a yellow and tan flank distinguish this Rebel Deep Wee R, a versatile 2" (5 cm) crankbait from the USA. Weighing in at 3/8 oz (10.5 g), the lure is equipped with a substantial clear diving lip engineered to target fish at depths of 7.8 – 9.8 ft (2.4 – 3.0 m). This specimen carries product code 19426 and showcases the classic Tiger color scheme, featuring a bright yellow belly that transitions into a subtle orange throat. The paintwork is remarkably well-preserved, showing the fine-textured scale detail along the upper back and the signature yellow-painted eyes with dark pupils. Its hardware includes two original treble hooks that appear sharp and ready for casting or trolling. Rated at 5/5 for condition, the body remains smooth and the colors vibrant, including the distinct contrast between the dark markings and the lighter base tones.
