Museum Archive: Vintage Rebel Floater, 1/16oz Silver / Natural fishing lure #3266

Tipping the scales at a delicate 1/16 oz (2 g), this ultra-light minnow is a fine example of American plastic craftsmanship from the Rebel lineup. The Silver / Natural color scheme features a distinctive ribbed scale texture along the flanks that provides a subtle shimmer, paired with a solid black back for a high-contrast profile. Measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm), this compact floater is designed for both precision casting and light trolling, reaching diving depths of 3ft (0.9 m) via its clear plastic lip. The head is detailed with bright yellow eyes and a small red paint accent at the throat, which serves as a classic visual trigger. This specimen, carrying product code 3266, remains in 5/5 condition, showing a very clean finish and well-preserved dark-tone treble hooks. It is optimized for a uniform retrieve or a methodical stop-and-go technique to mimic small forage fish.
