Museum Archive: Vintage Weedless Rebel Arrowhead, 2/5oz Black fishing spoon #8256

Tipping the scales at 2/5oz (12g), this vintage American-made lure features a distinctive geometric profile that collectors immediately recognize. Finished in a solid Black, the 2 1/4" (6cm) Weedless Rebel Arrowhead was engineered for precision fishing in heavy cover. The unique triangular body design is purpose-built to deflect off underwater obstructions, a design philosophy consistent with Rebel's mid-century innovations in lure manufacturing. This specific specimen, bearing product code 8256, shows an exceptionally clean surface with a rating of 5/5. Examining the hardware reveals a robust wire guard system designed to shield the hook point from snagging on weeds or brush while remaining sensitive enough to collapse upon a strike. The narrow line tie at the pointed tip facilitates a streamlined presentation through dense vegetation. Every edge of the pyramidal body remains sharp and well-defined, showcasing the quality of the original USA molding.
