Museum Archive: Vintage Rebel Floater Mystic Minnow, 1/4oz fishing lure #7882

Weighing in at 1/4 oz (8 g), this jointed minnow represents a classic piece of American tackle history from the Rebel brand. Intended to reach depths of 5-7 ft (1.5-2.1 m), it serves as a versatile choice for casting or trolling when targeting species such as trout, walleye, and pike. The 3 1/2" (9 cm) body is finished with a silver scale pattern over a white base, featuring clear "Floater" and "Mystic Minnow" stamps along the sides. Identified by product code 7882, this specimen remains in excellent condition, rated 5/5 with bright hardware and a clean finish. A clear diving lip is mounted at the nose, positioned ahead of the belly and tail treble hooks.
