Museum Archive: Vintage Rebel WEE-Crawfish Shallow, 3/16oz Shrimp fishing lure #9965

Weighing in at 3/16 oz (6 g), the Shrimp color pattern on this Rebel WEE-Crawfish Shallow (9965) showcases a high-contrast transition from a dark, mottled brown back to a bright orange underbelly. This specific lure measures 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and is a floating model intended for both casting and trolling techniques. Its clear diving bill is engineered to take the lure down to depths of 5 ft (1.5 m), making it a reliable choice for targeting perch, zander, and pike in shallower structures. The anatomical detailing is particularly sharp on this specimen, from the molded segments of the tail to the textured claws and the distinct red eyes. The hardware consists of two belly-mounted treble hooks, appearing clean and well-maintained. This lure is in excellent 5/5 condition, retaining its original factory luster and color definition. Produced in the USA, the body construction utilizes a durable plastic that highlights the intricate shell-like texture across the top and sides.
