Museum Archive: Renosky Lures Baby Swiss Lunker 4, 1oz spinning lure #13557

Measuring 5 1/2" (14cm), the photoprinted finish on the soft plastic body replicates the appearance of a live shiner through silver and grey coloration. This Renosky Lures Baby Swiss Lunker 4, carrying product code 13557, utilizes a single wire shaft construction to mount a red-painted spinner blade above the soft bait body. At 1oz (25g), the lure is balanced with brass spacers and a red bead, which separate the blade from the head of the minnow. The soft plastic section includes a dark dorsal fin and a prominent yellow eye, while the packaging notes the design allows for tail movement while the blade rotates. This specific item is unused and presented in its original retail blister pack from Indiana, PA. The card back mentions that this Swiss Minnow style was produced in five sizes and six different patterns for various game fish. The design represents a specialized segment of the Renosky lineup where natural textures are paired with the mechanical flash of an inline spinner.
