Museum Archive: Vintage Rebel Floater Jointed, 1/4oz Trout fishing lure #8016

A vibrant trout paint scheme with dark peppering and a bold orange-red lateral line defines the look of this 3 1/2" (9 cm) plastic swimmer. Carrying the product code 8016, this Rebel Floater Jointed weighs in at 1/4 oz (7 g) and represents a classic piece of American tackle history from the USA. The two-piece body is joined by a robust mechanical hinge, designed to provide a specific swimming motion during casting or trolling applications. This specimen maintains a 5/5 rating, showing a clean exterior and bright, corrosion-free treble hooks. When utilized with a steady retrieve or a stop-and-go cadence, it reaches depths between 4–6 ft (1.2–1.8 m). A clear, angled diving lip is integrated into the front section to facilitate its descent into the water column.
