Museum Archive: Vintage Rebel Super R, 1/2oz Rainbow Trout fishing lure #10895

Reaching depths between 7.8 - 11.5 ft (2.4 - 3.5 m), the Rebel Super R is a substantial deep-diving crankbait designed for both casting and trolling applications. This specimen, identified by product code 10895, weighs in at 1/2oz (14g) and measures 2 1/4" (6cm) in length. The Rainbow Trout finish is beautifully preserved, showcasing a detailed pattern of black speckles across a silver-to-bronze gradient, accented by a subtle pinkish-red stripe along the flanks. A prominent, clear diving lip is paired with a buoyant, noisy body containing internal rattles to provide acoustic presence underwater. Looking at the hardware, the lure is equipped with two sharp treble hooks, appearing in excellent 5/5 condition. The classic green eyes of the Rebel brand are set into a dark olive back, rounding out a very clean example of American-made tackle history.
