Museum Archive: Vintage Rebel Floater Jointed, 1/4oz fishing lure #11938

A striking orange belly highlights the underside of this 3 1/2" (9 cm) plastic lure, providing a high-visibility contrast to its realistic, barred scale pattern. Identified by product code 11938, this Rebel Floater Jointed weighs 1/4 oz (7 g) and represents a classic era of USA-based manufacturing. The two-part body is connected by a sturdy joint, paired with a clear plastic lip that guides the bait to depths between 4-6 ft (1.2 - 1.8 m). Suitable for both casting and trolling, its design allows for effective steady retrieves or a stop-and-go technique. The overall condition of the specimen is 5/5, showing well-preserved paint on the gill plates and realistic eyes. Dark treble hooks are positioned on the belly and tail, remaining in an excellent state for a collector's display or a vintage tackle box.
