Museum Archive: Vintage Renosky Lures Renosky Deep Dive Honeycomb Rattl shad, 2/5oz silver/blue fishing lure #20516

Weighing in at 2/5oz (12g), this deep-diving American lure is built for reaching depths of 12ft (3.6m). Renosky Lures utilized a distinct embossed honeycomb texture on this 2 3/4" (7cm) Deep Dive Rattl shad, which works alongside the silver/blue Crystalina finish to mimic the iridescent reflections of distressed scales. The internal rattle provides a noise-making element for both casting and trolling applications, while the large clear lip facilitates reaching the target depth quickly. Identified by product code 20516, this specimen features a vibrant red accent at the throat and maintains its original, sturdy treble hooks. The finish is well-preserved under a protective lacquer coating, earning a condition rating of 5/5. Designed for use with 4 to 12 lb test line, the lure's construction remains robust for both freshwater and coastal environments. A steady retrieve or a stop-and-go cadence are the primary techniques used to deploy this shad-profile bait.
