Museum Archive: Vintage Rebel Floater F9, 1/4oz Silver fishing lure #16898

A distinctive textured silver pattern covers the flanks of this American-made minnow, paired with a dark back and a bold red accent under the chin. Measuring 3 1/2" (9cm) and weighing 1/4oz (6.5g), this specimen is a classic Rebel Floater F9, identified by product code 16898. The clear diving lip, which features the molded brand logo, is designed to take the lure to depths between 3ft (0.9 m) and 6ft (1.8 m). It is well-suited for both casting and trolling applications, particularly when using a steady retrieve or a stop-and-go technique. The vintage character is highlighted by the large yellow eyes with prominent black pupils and original hardware. This lure remains in excellent shape, showing very little wear for its age, warranting a condition rating of 4/5.
