Museum Archive: Vintage Rebel Fastrac , 2/5oz Silver fishing lure #8048

Silver scales glisten across the 4 3/4" (12 cm) body of this Rebel Fastrac, a staple for deep-water enthusiasts. Originating from the USA, this specimen carries the product code 8048 and represents a time when Rebel’s lure designs were pushing the boundaries of depth and stability. Weighing in at 2/5 oz (12.5 g), it is built for both casting and trolling scenarios, reaching depths between 5 - 13 ft (1.5 - 4 m). The finish remains in top-tier condition, rated 5/5, showing the quality of the silver coat and the integrity of the three original treble hooks. This specific model features a prominent, angled diving lip designed to get the lure down quickly into the strike zone. The yellow-ringed eyes provide a subtle point of contrast against the metallic flank. Every detail, from the hardware to the molded gills, reflects the functional craftsmanship associated with vintage Rebel lures.
