Museum Archive: Vintage Renosky Lures Renosky Deep Dive Honeycomb Silent shad, 1/3oz fishing lure #18618

Glistening under a thick coat of lacquer, the Crystalina finish on this 1/3 oz (10 g) crankbait creates a unique opalescent reflection designed to mimic the scales of a wounded baitfish. This specimen, identified by product code 18618, features a distinct embossed honeycomb texture across its 2 3/4" (7 cm) body that catches light from multiple angles to simulate natural movement. Renosky Lures engineered the Deep Dive Honeycomb Silent shad with an oversized clear diving lip to reach depths of 11.8 ft (3.6 m) when casting or trolling. Rated at 5/5, the lure appears in excellent condition, showcasing a vibrant green and black holographic pattern with no visible wear to the metallic coating. As a "Silent" model, it lacks internal rattles, making it a specialized tool for targeting wary fish in clear or high-pressure waters. The hardware remains original, featuring bronzed treble hooks and heavy-duty split rings common to the USA-made Renegade series. A subtle red flash near the gill plate provides a realistic focal point against the deep green, glitter-infused back.
