Museum Archive: Rebel Minnow Asst, Gold fishing lure #14050

Gold-finished plastic construction defines this 3 1/2" (9 cm) floating lure, which remains unused and preserved in its original red and white packaging. Cataloged with product code 14050, the Rebel Minnow Asst features a distinct black back and a clear diving lip intended for depths of 3-6 ft (0.9-1.8 m). This USA-made model is built for both casting and trolling, effectively utilized with a steady retrieve or a stop-and-go technique. The hardware consists of two treble hooks, one at the belly and one at the tail, which are typical for this size category. Collectors will note the crisp lines of the original blister pack, housing a specimen that showcases the early manufacturing standards of the Rebel brand.
