The Rebel Lures Company, founded in early 1961 by George Perrin, in Fort Smith, Arkansas, originally began as a custom injection molder. In 1963, Perrin, an avid fisherman, set out to craft a minnow style fishing lure, a lure that made of plastic, would be consistent in its action, and more resilient than any other lure of its type available. These lures made of plastic, imitated or mimicked fish prey, enticing a strike. The first mass-produced Rebel Lures were the 3 1/2" Rebel Minnow. Their success came almost overnight and demand for these fishing lures grew quickly. To increase strikes, these baits appeared vulnerable as well as edible. Troubled, unaware preys convince the fish to strike. On the other hand, fish seldom pay attention to prey or lures that move quickly by, out of their striking range.

With plastic injection molding, Rebel Lures Company was able to mass-manufacture their lures in a jiffy. Soon sportfishermen everywhere started demanding other style lures, such as decoys that would sink, run deep, topwater poppers and crankbaits. Thus, hosts of Rebel Lures, now legendary fishing decoys, were introduced like the "Broken Back" (Jointed) minnow, the Super-R, Pop-R, Wee-R and the Rebel Crawfish series. These lures still remain as productive favorites in the tackle boxes of professional and novice anglers around the world. Some of these antique lures become available so infrequently that it might be considered unwise to let a few dollars prevent you from owning a desirable lure.

When the Rebel fishing lures were created in the early 1960's, a standard of excellence was established. The same commitment to quality and craftsmanship is alive today. Rebel Lures are available in a variety of fish catching sizes, shapes and colors ranging from Rebel Tracdown Minnow, Wee-R Family, Holographic Rebel Minnow, Rebel Minnow, Spoonbill & Holographic Spoonbill Minnows, Jumpin' Minnow, Windcheater, Rebel Jawbreaker, Fastrac Minnows, Humpback, Pop-R, Crawfish, Buzz'n Frog, Wee Frog, Bumble Bug, Big Ant, Crickhopper Popper, Crickhopper/Bighopper, Hellgrammite, Rebel Tadfry, Cat'r Crawler, Ghost Minnow and Creek Creature.
