Museum Archive: Vintage Rebel Double Deep Shad, 2/5oz Gray Natural fishing lure #6018

Weighing in at 2/5oz (11g), this American-made classic showcases the Gray Natural finish, a sophisticated pattern featuring a dark, scale-textured back that fades into cream-colored flanks. Rebel's catalog lists this specimen as product code 6018, a standout in the Double Deep Shad lineup designed for reaching substantial depths during casting or trolling sessions. The visual profile is accented by a sharp red gill slash and a prominent black shad spot on the mid-section, intended to mimic common baitfish prey like perch or gizzard shad. Looking at the hardware, the treble hooks remain bright and sharp, reflecting its 5/5 condition rating. The most distinctive feature is the elongated, orange-tinted diving lip, which characterizes its "double deep" designation and houses the line tie directly on the bill for stability. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) in length, the floating body is built with the durability Rebel was known for during their production years in the USA. This particular specimen is aimed at target species like pike, zander, or large perch, maintaining its original factory luster throughout.
