Museum Archive: Vintage Rebel Floater F14, 1/2oz Silver fishing lure #9199

Silver scale texturing across the flanks defines this classic Rebel Floater F14, a staple for those targeting larger predators. Measuring 5 1/2" (14 cm) and weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), this American-made plastic minnow features a distinct black back that contrasts sharply against its metallic sides. The head is detailed with bright yellow eyes and a small red paint stroke at the throat, situated just behind the clear diving lip. Designed for both casting and trolling, it reaches depths between 4–7 ft (1.2–2.1 m) during a steady or stop-and-go retrieve. This specimen, identified by product code 9199, is in 4/5 condition, showing honest signs of age that highlight its vintage character while remaining a solid addition to a collection. The hardware consists of three sharp treble hooks, and the foil-like finish continues to catch the light effectively across the textured body.
