Museum Archive: Vintage Renegade Lunker Diver, 1/3oz Baby Bass fishing lure #8139

Measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, this specimen features the recognizable Baby Bass pattern with its distinctive dark vertical blotches along the flanks. The Renegade Lunker Diver, identified by Product Code 8139, tips the scales at 1/3 oz (9 g). Its construction includes a prominent clear diving lip and a body shape intended for deep diving applications, transitioning into a bright orange-yellow hue on the underside. This noise-type lure is designed with an internal rattle to provide an audible signature while in use. While rated a 4/5, it maintains its integrity well, showing only a small, superficial scratch on the clear varnish. The lure is finished with molded gill details near the head and original hardware, including two treble hooks, reflecting its USA-made manufacturing heritage.
