Museum Archive: Vintage Rebel Shad F61, 1/3oz Silver fishing lure #13172

Silver scaling textures define the profile of this 3 1/4" (8 cm) floating crankbait, a distinctive example of early 1970s design. This Rebel Shad F61, designated by product code 13172, features a violet back that contrasts sharply with the reflective metallic sides and classic painted yellow eyes. Weighing in at 1/3 oz (10 g), the body shows minor signs of its age with light surface wear, though it maintains a high 4/5 condition rating. The clear diving lip is firmly set for reaching mid-range depths where shad-imitating profiles are most effective. You can see the characteristic Rebel cross-hatch pattern etched into the silver finish, which was a hallmark of the brand's early manufacturing techniques in the USA. The original hardware includes two belly-mounted treble hooks that remain intact and ready for display.
