Museum Archive: Vintage Renosky Lures Renegade Crystalina Crippled Shad, 2/5oz Pearl fishing lure #22456

2/5 oz (12 g) of weight gives this surface bait the necessary mass for long-distance casting on light tackle. The Renosky Lures Renegade Crystalina Crippled Shad, identified by product code 22456, measures 3 1/4" (8 cm) and is finished in a luminous Pearl color. Its body features a deep-embossed scale texture paired with a Crystalina coating, which creates shimmering, opalescent highlights designed to mimic the appearance of a wounded baitfish. Notable hardware includes lifelike glass eyes and a gold-flecked tinsel tail that provides subtle movement even when the lure is sitting stationary on the water. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing a completely intact finish and clean, sharp treble hooks. Manufactured in the USA, this floating lure is intended for topwater presentations where its metallic-flecked body and feathered tail target surface-feeding predators like pike or bass. The intricate scale pattern is protected by a durable clear coat, ensuring the high-gloss finish remains vibrant.
