Museum Archive: Vintage Rebel Floater, 1/3oz Silver fishing lure #7713

Silver-scaled finishes like the one on this 1/3 oz (10 g) specimen were a hallmark of early plastic lure production in the USA. Measuring 4 3/4" (12 cm) in length, the Rebel Floater (Product Code 7713) features a distinct orange-tinted diving lip paired with a bright red-orange chin accent. This specific color combination, set against a black back and yellow-ringed eyes, was designed to remain visible while working depths between 3 ft (0.9 m) and 6 ft (1.8 m). The triple treble hook configuration is secured by robust hardware, showing the durability Rebel intended for both casting and trolling applications. This lure is in excellent 5/5 condition, maintaining the crispness of its molded scale patterns and vibrant paint. It operates effectively with steady retrieves or a stop-and-go technique.
