Museum Archive: Vintage Renosky Lures Renosky Deep Dive Honeycomb Rattl shad, 2/5oz gold fishing lure #19303

Embossed honeycomb texturing across the gold body sets this Renosky Deep Dive Honeycomb Rattl shad apart for collectors of unique vintage tackle. The specialized Crystalina finish produces a soft opalescent shimmer intended to mimic the natural scale flash of a struggling baitfish. Rated at a condition of 5/5, the lure shows its original fine metallic coating well-preserved under a clear lacquer layer. This 2 3/4" (7 cm) deep-diver is balanced at 2/5 oz (12 g), designed to reach depths down to 11.8 ft (3.6 m) whether cast or trolled. The hardware is notably sturdy, featuring robust split rings and original bronzed treble hooks. An internal rattle provides a distinct acoustic footprint, a hallmark of the Renosky Lures design philosophy for the 19303 series. Anglers often find success using line weights between 4 and 12 lb to maximize the lure's depth capacity during a steady or stop-and-go retrieve.
