Museum Archive: Vintage Rebel Deep Wee R, 3/8oz Brown Crawdad fishing lure #8586

Amber-tinted polymer was used for the diving lip of the Rebel Deep Wee R, a 2" (5 cm) crankbait built for reaching depths of 8-10 ft (2.4-3.0 m). Carrying product code 8586, this 3/8 oz (10.5 g) floating lure features a Brown Crawdad finish, consisting of a dark, striated brown upper body and a high-visibility orange underside. The lure displays a detailed textured scale pattern across its sides, punctuated by painted yellow eyes with black pupils. Manufactured in the USA, the specimen is equipped with two sharp treble hooks and shows no signs of field use, earning a condition rating of 5/5. Anglers traditionally employed this model for both casting and trolling near deep-water obstructions. The integrity of the paint and the clarity of the hardware demonstrate the preservation of this vintage piece.
