Museum Archive: Vintage Rebel Floater, 1/16oz Silver / Natural fishing lure #3268

Weighing in at a delicate 1/16 oz (2g), this diminutive lure represents a golden era of ultra-light tackle design. The Silver / Natural finish on this 1 1/2" (4 cm) plastic body features a high-contrast black back over silver sides, detailed with a fine cross-hatched scale pattern. Its face is characterized by prominent yellow eyes with centered black pupils and a distinct red accent under the chin near the clear plastic diving lip. Labeled under product code 3268, this Rebel Floater is engineered for a working depth of 3 ft (0.9 m), making it a versatile choice for both casting and trolling setups. The hardware remains bright and the body shows no significant wear, earning this specimen a condition rating of 5/5. Anglers traditionally favor a steady retrieve or a stop-and-go cadence to maximize the effectiveness of its buoyant design.
