Museum Archive: Vintage Rebel Floater Jointed J12, 1/3oz Silver / Light Blue fishing lure #14356

Weighing in at 1/3 oz (9 g), this Rebel Floater Jointed J12, identified by product code 14356, showcases the classic silver and light blue finish synonymous with early American plastic lures. The 4 3/4" (12 cm) body features a distinct jointed design that increases the lure's profile during casting or trolling. Looking at the clear plastic diving lip, you’ll find the authentic "REBEL MADE IN USA" stamp, confirming its manufacturing heritage. The color pattern consists of a light blue back over silver sides with a fine cross-hatched scale texture, accented by bright yellow eyes with black pupils. It retains three sets of treble hooks, and the overall condition is a solid 4/5, showing light surface marks consistent with its age. This floater is engineered to reach depths between 4-6 ft (1.2 - 1.8 m), responding well to a uniform retrieve or a stop-and-go technique.
