Museum Archive: Rebel Minnow Asst, 1/3oz Gold fishing spoon #17499

Sporting a brilliant gold mirror-like finish, this particular Rebel Minnow Asst represents the durable plastic construction synonymous with vintage Fort Smith, Arkansas production. Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm) and weighing 1/3 oz (9 g), this floating lure is engineered for versatile applications including casting and trolling. The clear diving lip is designed to reach depths between 3-6 ft (0.9-1.8 m), accommodating both steady and stop-and-go retrieve techniques. Labeled with Product Code 17499, the specimen is unused and remains in its original red and white striped blister packaging. Two sharp treble hooks are belly-mounted and tail-mounted for secure hooksets. The original yellow store tag remains attached to the cardboard backing, preserving its history as a classic American-made lure.
