Museum Archive: Vintage Renosky Lures Renegade Crystalina Crippled Shad, 2/5oz brown fishing lure #18654

Embossed texture combined with a unique Crystalina finish gives this 3 1/4" (8 cm) profile an unmistakable, life-like glint. Identified by product code 18654, this Renegade Crystalina Crippled Shad is a classic surface-dwelling design from Renosky Lures that weighs in at 12g (2/5 oz). A dark brown spine flows into metallic gold and silver scales, while the nose features a distinct splash of red beneath the golden glass eyes. The hardware is mounted via sturdy rings and includes a tail rig composed of both white feathers and reflective crystal-flash fibers. Rated at a condition of 5/5, the specimen maintains a clean lacquer coating over its fine metal plating. It performs best on lines between 4 and 12 lb test, where the feathered tail is designed to quiver even when the lure sits stationary.
