Museum Archive: Vintage Renosky Lures Renosky Minnow, 2/3oz Trout / Red spinning lure #4766

Weighing in at 2/3oz (18g), this American-made hybrid combines a detailed soft-plastic body with a traditional spinner assembly. The 5" (13cm) minnow features a classic trout pattern, characterized by fine dark spotting and a soft pinkish-red lateral line that runs into a pale belly. In its 5/5 condition, the soft body remains supple and clean, with the yellow-and-black eyes still bright and intact. The hardware includes a wire shaft rigged with several gold-tone beads and a single red bead that sits right at the nose of the lure. A large, textured red blade provides the primary visual draw, while the reverse side of the blade shows a polished silver finish. Carrying the product code 4766, this Renosky Lures specimen is finished with a belly-mounted treble hook. The wire form ends in a clean loop for line attachment, showing the thoughtful construction typical of this USA-based manufacturer.
