Museum Archive: Vintage Renegade Pro Series, 1/2oz Yellow / Green fishing lure #11980

Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), this sinking lipless crankbait from the Renegade Pro Series offers versatile depth control for anglers targeting everything from perch to pike. The vibrant yellow finish is accented by a distinct green honeycomb pattern across the top and a classic black lateral spot toward the rear. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm), the lure features oversized, high-contrast eyes that provide a clear focal point. This specific specimen, carrying product code 11980, is in a beautiful 5/5 condition, maintaining its original luster on both the body and the hardware. Designed for both casting and trolling, its lipless profile is engineered to sink, allowing for a variable running depth depending on the retrieve speed. The dual treble hooks are securely attached via split rings, showing the high level of American craftsmanship. Subtle molded gill plates and a textured scale finish along the sides round out the visual profile of this classic rattle-style bait.
