Museum Archive: Vintage Rebel Floater Jointed, 1/8oz silver fishing lure #19398

Silver scales and a black back define the finish on this 1/8 oz (3.5 g) jointed minnow. Originating from the USA, the Rebel Floater Jointed carries the product code 19398 and is sized at a compact 2 3/4 inches (7 cm). This specific specimen shows the characteristic red splash on the nose and features a clear plastic diving lip. For the angler on the water, it is designed for casting or trolling with a uniform or stop-and-go retrieve at depths ranging from 1 ft to 3 ft (0.3 m – 0.9 m). The two-piece plastic body is joined by a simple hinge, allowing the rear section to follow the front. Looking at the condition, which sits at a 4/5, there is some visible wear of the silver finish along the sides and belly, showing the white plastic base beneath the metallic layer. The hardware includes two treble hooks and the classic Rebel profile built for versatility in various freshwater environments.
