Museum Archive: Vintage Rebel Pop-R, 1/8oz Fire tiger fishing lure #21174

An orange-bellied Fire tiger finish highlights the profile of this 2" (5 cm) surface specialist. Weighing 1/8 oz (3.5 g), this Rebel Pop-R (Product Code 21174) was manufactured in the USA specifically for ultralight casting targeting perch and pike. The body features a vibrant green-to-yellow gradient accented by black swirls and a deep red eye. Its defining characteristic is the concave mouth designed for surface interaction. A belly treble is paired with a feathered rear hook, which is tied with natural-toned hair and finished with a red thread wrap. This specimen is in 4/5 condition, exhibiting minor paint loss on the underside and sides that speaks to its time in a tackle box.
