Museum Archive: Vintage Renosky Lures Renosky bloody jig, 2/5oz red/black fishing spoon #24292

Weighing in at 2/5 oz (12 g), this compact metal lure from Renosky Lures is a classic example of American-made tackle designed for depth and durability. The red/black color scheme, often referred to as a 'bloody' pattern, spans the 2 1/4" (6 cm) body, mimicking the look of a wounded baitfish. This particular specimen, identified by product code 24292, remains in excellent condition (5/5), with its glossy finish and dark spotting showing no signs of age. The hardware includes a stout treble hook and stainless split rings at both ends, which are characteristic of Renosky's heavy-duty approach to lure manufacturing in the USA. Dark, irregular spots across the upper ridge provide a high-contrast visual against the deep crimson belly, specifically intended for visibility in various water clarities. The weighted body is tailored for vertical jigging or casting when distance is required to reach active schools of fish.
