Museum Archive: Vintage Rebel Shad R, 2/5oz fishing lure #12228

A vibrant green scale pattern dominates the upper half of this 2 3/4" (7 cm) Shad R, transitioning into a yellow and orange belly. Identified by product code 12228, this Rebel lure carries the "Floater" designation printed clearly on the side. The body construction weighs 2/5 oz (11 g) and features a deep-diving clear lip intended for reaching fish in deeper water columns during casting or trolling. Authentically manufactured in the USA, it showcases traditional hardware and a prominent black gill marking alongside a distinct eye. The condition of this specimen is rated 5/5, with the paint and hooks showing exceptional preservation for its age. The dark green back and scale detail provide a naturalistic profile for targeting perch, pike-perch, or pike in varied conditions.
