Museum Archive: Rebel Excalibur Shad R, 2/5oz fishing lure #18615

Gold scale patterns transition into a dark, spotted lateral line on this classic Shad-R profile. Produced through a notable collaboration between Rebel and Excalibur, this specimen reflects a period where high-reflection technical finishes became a priority for professional-grade tackle. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) and weighing in at 2/5 oz (11 g), the lure is equipped with a long, clear diving lip designed to reach depths between 7.8 ft (2.4 m) and 11.5 ft (3.5 m). The gold finish remains crisp, complemented by the clearly legible "Floater" stamp on the side of the body. This specific model, product code 18615, features the LiveShad finish intended for deep-water visibility. It is unused and remains in its original vintage packaging, highlighting its status as a collector-grade find from the USA. The internal rattles are part of its noise-making design for casting or trolling for pike, perch, and zander.
