Vintage Rebel Lures Wooden-Style Plastic “Spoonbill Minnow” Deep DiverElevate your vintage tackle inventory with this iconic Rebel Spoonbill Minnow. Produced by the legendary Plastics Research and Development Corporation in Fort Smith, Arkansas, during the late 20th century, this model was a game-changer for professional walleye, striper, and bass anglers who needed a slim baitfish profile that could reach massive depths.Built from high-impact molded plastic designed to mirror the buoyancy of traditional balsa wood, this lure features a signature, oversized clear “spoonbill” diving lip molded seamlessly into the head. Painted in the highly sought-after Green Mackerel pattern, it showcases a bold emerald back, striking black mackerel side bars, a chartreuse-to-cream belly fade, detailed printed gills, and two original belly-mounted treble hooks. With its timeless fish-catching profile and excellent shelf presence, this classic Arkansas-made diver is an essential addition to any mid-century fishing display or collector’s shelf.
