Rebel 1969 Catalog
1969 Rebel Fishing Lure Catalog
The 1969 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 1969, Rebel was gaining steam 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My Bait Shop Master Catalog Archive Project (MCAP), a growing digital archive of vintage fishing tackle catalogs and historical reference materials for collectors and researchers.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
Collect what you like. Whether 100 year old wooden baits with glass eyes or twenty year old plastic baits, it doesn't matter. This hobby is great and inclusive of eveyone and whatever you want to collect. I personally collect all kinds of baits from just a few years ago to the beginning of the industry and my collection changes all the time. My very first interests were Flex Ikes by Lazy Ike and they are still some of my favorites. So you do you!
