Museum Archive: Vintage Renegade Pro Series Rattle Crank, 1/3oz Rainbow Light Blue fishing lure #13045

Weighing in at 1/3oz (10g), this compact crankbait features a distinct scale-patterned silver body topped with a vibrant Rainbow Light Blue finish. It originates from the USA under the Renegade label, carrying the product code 13045. The silver sides are designed to catch the light, complemented by a soft red highlight near the chin and gill area. As a Pro Series Rattle Crank, the body construction houses internal rattles intended to produce sound during retrieval. A clear, elongated diving lip is fixed to the head, and the lure measures a neat 2" (5cm) in length. Rated at 5/5, the lure shows an impressively clean finish on the body, though the two original treble hooks have developed a darkened hue over time. Being a floating type, the lure is designed to rise toward the surface. The black and gold recessed eyes add a final touch of realism to this American-made specimen.
