Rebel 1968 Catalog
1968 Rebel Fishing Lure Catalog
The 1968 Rebel fishing lure catalog provides collectors with a detailed look at the lures and fishing tackle offered by the Rebel (PRADCO-Plastic Research & Development Corporation) during one of their first years in business. By 1968, Rebel was gaining a name in the industry and really starting to take off. Lures they made are popular with fishermen and collectors yet today. Vintage fishing lure catalogs like this are important reference materials for identifying lure models, studying finishes and packaging, and researching the history of classic fishing tackle.
This catalog is part of the My Bait Shop Master Catalog Archive Project (MCAP), a growing digital archive of vintage fishing tackle catalogs and historical reference materials for collectors and researchers.

Collector Tip
Be prepared to learn new information. Not everything is written in stone. New information is discovered all the time and what was written yesterday can be proven wrong tomorrow. Companies weren't in business to document everything for collector's decades later. Half the fun of collecting is the search to uncover new information. Be open to it.
