Museum Archive: Vintage Renegade Crank, 1/3oz blue fishing lure #18578

The blue-to-silver gradient on the back of this 1/3 oz (9 g) lure transitions into a finely detailed scale pattern on the flanks. Sized at 2" (5 cm), this American-made Renegade Crank, identified by product code 18578, is built for both casting and trolling applications. Its clear, wide diving lip is designed to reach a working depth of 6-8 ft (1.8-2.4 m), making it a specific tool for targeting pike or zander. The specimen remains in 4/5 condition, featuring a classic profile with dark, prominent eyes and a soft red-tinted chin area for added contrast. The original treble hooks are attached via sturdy split rings, ready for the water or a collector's display.
