Museum Archive: Renosky Lures Renosky Sonic Swing Minnow 1, 3/32oz Nickel / Rainbow Trout spinning lure #11294

Rainbow Trout coloring defines the soft plastic body of this unique hybrid spinner. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) and weighing 3/32oz (3 g), the lure utilizes a nickel-finished blade mounted on a single wire shaft. This Renosky Lures creation, identified by product code 11294 and model SSM-#1, is unused and remains preserved in its original blister pack. The construction features a photo-printed skin over a soft material designed to flex during retrieval. According to the technical details on the original packaging from Indiana, PA, the rotating blade sets up vibrations to interact with the minnow's tail. This finesse-sized bait was developed for targeting species like bass, trout, and pike, and the soft body allows for the application of fish scents. The specimen represents a classic American design that combines the flash of a spinner with the texture of a soft plastic minnow.
