Museum Archive: Vintage Rebel Wee R, 1/3oz Perch fishing lure #13046

The "Perch" color scheme on this specimen features a dark, patterned back that transitions into a warm orange belly, capturing the look of natural forage. This Rebel Wee R, identified by product code 13046, is a 1/3 oz (10 g) suspender that represents a classic era of USA-made tackle. Measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, the lure is equipped with two treble hooks and a clear, square-style diving lip designed for a working depth of 1.3 - 4 ft (0.4 - 1.2 m). Its condition is 5/5, presenting an exceptionally clean finish with no visible wear. Designed for both casting and trolling techniques, this model's construction features a textured scale pattern across the body, a hallmark of Rebel’s mid-century manufacturing. The hardware is firmly set, including a line-tie eyelet positioned on the lip to manage the diving plane.
