Museum Archive: Renosky Lures Renosky Laser Spoon, 1/4oz fishing spoon #20308

Sporting a gold and black finish that mimics a small baitfish, this 1/4 oz (7 g) spoon represents the design philosophy of Joseph Renosky, who emphasized realism long before it became a market standard. Measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm), the lure is built on a stainless steel base with a unique hydrodynamic curvature designed to prevent line twist during use. The front face features a detailed, no-chip graphic of a prey fish, while the back provides a high-flash stainless steel surface. Renosky, a renowned inventor and the mind behind the Banjo Minnow, established his company in 1969 with the belief that lures must be as realistic as possible to fool keen-eyed predators like trout and bass. This specific model, identified by product code 20308, is intended for both casting and trolling in fresh or salt water. The item is unused and remains in its original vintage blister pack.
