Museum Archive: Vintage Rebel Mystic Shad R, 1/3oz Dark Red / Gold fishing lure #7992

Gold scales transitioning into a deep red back give this Rebel Mystic Shad R its distinctive visual appeal. Stamped with the "Suspending" designation on the side and "Mystic Shad-R" on the spine, this 2 3/4" (7 cm) lure represents a specialized era of USA-made manufacturing. It weighs 1/3 oz (9 g) and is built for techniques like casting or trolling where depth control is essential. The hardware includes two original silver treble hooks, and the head is finished with bold red eyes that contrast against the metallic gold. This specimen, carrying product code 7992, is in 5/5 condition, showing a completely clean surface and perfectly preserved factory markings. A long, clear diving lip is integrated into the nose to facilitate its descent during the retrieve.
