Museum Archive: Vintage Rebel Floater F12, 1/3oz fishing lure #10646

Scales of copper and gold adorn the flanks of this 1/3 oz (9 g) floating minnow. The Rebel Floater F12, designated as product code 10646, features a high-contrast black back and a vibrant orange belly, accented by a small red strike point near the tail. A signature design element is the large, painted eye with its blue surrounding ring and yellow iris, a classic aesthetic from its USA manufacturing roots. Measuring 4 3/4" (12 cm), the lure is rigged with three bronze-tone treble hooks and a clear plastic lip that facilitates a diving depth of 5 - 7 ft (1.5 - 2.1 m). The condition is an excellent 5/5, showing the original finish and hardware in a remarkably clean state.
