Rebel deep diver

Forty  plus years ago Rebel Lures introduced the Wee R and the Deep Wee R. At the time crankbaits were in their hayday with names like Bagley, Norman, and Bomber. Tommy Martin had won the Bassmaster Classic on the Bagley. Stanley Mitchell matched that feat with a Bomber. Paul Elias was introducing the “neel and reel” technique on the way to another crankbait victory in a Classic  and at the same time a  new smaller crankbait was making its name and it was called  the Rebel  Wee R.
