Museum Archive: Renosky Lures Renosky Super Shad Spinner Bait, 1/4oz spinning lure #13554

Weighing in at 1/4oz (7g), this specimen represents a classic approach to the hybrid spinnerbait/swimbait design often used for multi-species angling. The chrome-silver sparkle finish on the soft plastic body, labeled as "C-Silver Spk.", is paired with distinct vertical ribbing and a vibrant orange paddle tail. Cataloged under product code #RSS 2.5 (13554), this lure remains in its original vintage blister pack from the Renosky Lure Co. based in Indiana, Pennsylvania. The hardware includes a silver-finished willow blade attached via a wire arm to a round lead head. Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm) in length, the design incorporates a single upturned hook shielded by the soft body for navigating through vegetation. This lure is unused, with the packaging and soft plastic component showing remarkably well for its age. The card back provides a glimpse into the brand's history, noting the scent-impregnated plastic and the full color range available at the time, from Spanish Mackerel to Rainbow Trout.
