Silver textured scales cover the flanks of this 3" (7.5 cm) specimen, providing a realistic flash that was a hallmark of Rebel’s early designs in the USA. At 1/2 oz (14 g), this sinking lure was engineered with an internal noise-maker designed to signal game fish from a distance. The line tie is positioned on the top of the head, a configuration intended for versatile depth coverage from the surface down to the bottom. A vibrant yellow eye with a dark pupil stands out against the chrome-like finish of product code 18142. The original treble hooks remain attached, showing the craftsmanship expected from vintage Rebel tackle. This piece shows light evidence of its history in a tackle box while maintaining a clean 4/5 condition rating. Rebel specifically developed the Racket Shad to maintain a presence even during a free-fall, making it a reliable producer for those targeting deeper structures.
