Museum Archive: Vintage Rebel Shallow Fastrac , 1/3oz Brown Tiger fishing lure #8161

Dressing the cream-colored body of this lure is a distinctive Brown Tiger pattern, featuring bold brown stripes across the spine and sides. This Rebel Shallow Fastrac, identified by product code 8161, was crafted in the USA and weighs in at a versatile 1/3 oz (9 g). Its profile measures 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and is equipped with prominent gold prism eyes that catch the light from different angles. Designed for a working depth between 2 ft and 6 ft (0.6 - 1.8 m), the clear plastic lip is angled specifically for shallow-water techniques like casting or trolling near cover. The hardware includes two bronzed treble hooks, and the specimen shows an excellent condition rating of 5/5. The belly transitions from the striped sides into a soft, pearlescent glow typical of vintage Rebel production runs from this era.
