Museum Archive: Vintage Rebel Floater, 1/4oz Silver fishing lure #5589

Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm) in length, a silver-white body defines this American-made plastic minnow from the Rebel lineup. Carrying product code 5589, the specimen features a dark, crosshatched scale pattern across the back and a distinct red strike point at the throat. A clear diving lip allows the lure to reach depths of 3-6 ft (0.9-1.8 m) when utilized for casting or trolling. The 1/4 oz (6.5 g) weight provides the necessary balance for steady or stop-and-go retrieves. Black-finished treble hooks remain attached to the belly and tail, and the bright yellow eyes are clear of wear. This specific lure is in 5/5 condition, showing a well-preserved finish and hardware.
