Museum Archive: Rebel Ghost Minnow, 1/8oz Brown Trout fishing lure #11782

Sporting a detailed Brown Trout finish, this specimen features a golden-metallic body layered with intricate dark spotting to mimic natural forage fish. Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) and weighing 1/8 oz (4 g), the lure is equipped with a clear diving lip intended for shallow presentations between 1 - 3 ft (0.3 - 0.9 m). A distinct "TRACDOWN" stamp is visible along the side, identifying this as part of Rebel’s specialized sinking series designed for precise depth control during a countdown. The construction consists of a durable plastic body paired with two dark-finished treble hooks. Produced in the USA and identified by product code 11782, the lure remains unused in its original vintage red-and-white striped packaging. The reverse of the card includes specific fishing tips for casting and trolling, suggesting a steady retrieve or a deliberate stop-and-go cadence.
