Museum Archive: Vintage Rebel Floater F14, 1/2oz trout fishing lure #23753

Measuring 5 1/2" (14 cm) in length, this Rebel Floater F14 reflects the classic American craftsmanship of the Rebel brand. The trout color pattern is well-preserved on this specimen, showing a silver scale-textured body with a soft pink lateral line and a dark, speckled spine. Labeled with product code 23753, this lure weighs 1/2 oz (14 g) and features a durable plastic construction designed for a variety of freshwater environments. Its condition is rated a 5/5, with the original hardware and diving lip remaining clear and intact. This floater is designed to dive to depths of 4-7ft (1.2-2.1 m) and is suitable for both casting and trolling techniques. A steady retrieve or a stop-and-go method is standard for this model, which carries three sharp treble hooks for effective hooksets. The red-ringed eyes and the specific lip angle are characteristic of Rebel's production era in the United States.
