Museum Archive: Rebel Floater F9, 3/16oz Silver fishing lure #11932

Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm) in length, this Rebel Floater F9 hails from the legacy of the Plastics Research & Development Corp in Fort Smith, Arkansas. The Silver foil-like finish, cataloged under product code 11932, is exceptionally clean on this unused specimen. With a weight of 3/16 oz (6 g), the lure is balanced for depths between 3-6 ft (0.9-1.8 m), making it a versatile choice for casting or trolling. The original packaging displays the "F-101 SILVER" designation on the yellow end flap and includes a detailed boat illustration on the reverse side. Its durable plastic body and classic hardware represent the mid-century transition from wood to synthetic materials in American tackle manufacturing.
