Museum Archive: Vintage Renosky Lures Renosky Sonic Swing Minnow, 1/2oz Silver / Trout spinning lure #10135

A distinctive soft-bodied profile defines this 5 1/2" (14 cm) trout imitation from the USA-based manufacturer, Renosky Lures. Finished in a Silver / Trout pattern, the bait features a dark green back that blends into a cream-colored belly accented by realistic black spots. The wire assembly for Product Code 10135 is uniquely rigged with a large red bead and smaller white and gold spacers positioned just behind a textured silver spinner blade. This setup is intended for casting or trolling techniques, where the blade provides constant visual flash at the head of the lure. At a weight of 1/2 oz (14 g), the bait offers enough mass for controlled placement in the water. The hardware includes a darkened treble hook mounted beneath the midsection, and the head is detailed with a bright yellow eye and black pupil. This specimen is in 4/5 condition, with the paint and soft plastic components appearing well-maintained and supple.
