Museum Archive: Vintage Rebel Rocket Shad Lipless, 3/4oz fishing lure #11884

Silver chrome finish defines the aesthetic of this vintage specimen, accented by a bold black back and characteristic red gill marks near the eye. Weighing 3/4 oz (21 g), the heavy internal weighting is engineered for long-range casting or deep-water trolling at a variable depth. The "Rocket Shad" model name is embossed directly onto the side, a hallmark of Rebel’s USA-made construction that collectors often look for. Measuring 3 inches (7.5 cm), this sinking rattler is outfitted with two original treble hooks and a top-mounted line tie designed for maintaining stability during a retrieve. The finish shows a few signs of its history, earning a soft 4/5 condition rating that reflects its character as an authentic piece of angling history. Labeled under product code 11884, it remains a robust choice for targeting a wide range of species including pike, zander, and trout.
