Museum Archive: Vintage Rebel Floater, 3/32oz Silver fishing lure #15259

Measuring exactly 2 1/2" (6.5cm) in length, the silver foil finish on this vintage American-made specimen remains remarkably well-preserved. This Rebel Floater, identified by Product Code 15259, showcases the brand's iconic textured silver sides and a deep black back, paired with a vibrant pinkish-red accent under the chin. At a weight of 3/32oz (3g), the lure is built from the durable, high-quality plastic that allowed Rebel to become a mainstay in tackle boxes across the USA. The transparent, rounded diving lip is clear and firmly seated, positioned to facilitate shallow-water casting. Original hardware including the belly and tail treble hooks are present, showing very little signs of their age, supporting a condition rating of 5/5. Notable visual details include the high-contrast yellow eyes with large black pupils and the clean split rings on the nose and hook hangers. This lure represents the classic minnow profile that defined the early era of plastic lure manufacturing.
