Museum Archive: Vintage Renegade Crank , 1/3oz fishing lure #15192

Iridescent silver scales catch the light along the flanks of this vintage American-made Renegade Crank, transitioning into a deep purple back and a soft pinkish-red hue under the throat. Identified by product code 15192, the body features a distinct black kill spot positioned just behind the gill plates to provide a clear target point. The lure measures 2" (5 cm) and weighs 1/3 oz (9 g), providing a compact profile for both casting and trolling setups. To reach target zones of 6–8 ft (1.8–2.4 m), it utilizes a broad, clear plastic diving lip that remains securely integrated into the nose. The hardware consists of two dark-finished treble hooks that show no signs of use, consistent with its 5/5 condition rating. Often utilized for pike and walleye, this specific specimen showcases the holographic finishing techniques typical of its era. The eyes are deeply recessed and dark, adding to the realistic profile when viewed from below.
