Museum Archive: Vintage Renosky Lures Swiss Swing, 1/8oz Silver/red spinning lure #16625

Five brass-colored beads are arranged along the wire shaft of this Renosky Lures spinner, providing the necessary 1/8oz (3.5g) of weight for casting. The silver-finished blade is prominently stamped with the SWISS SWING name and a wave-like scale pattern that catches light across its surface. Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm) in total length, the design includes a vibrant red feather dressing tied over the hook, accented by a few strands of green-tinted tinsel for a touch of flash. This American-made specimen, listed under product code 16625, presents a classic inline configuration where the blade rotates around a central axis. The condition of the lure is 5/5, showing clean metal surfaces and a full, untrimmed feather tail. Subtle details like the precise wire wraps at the line tie and the hook attachment reflect the care put into these vintage USA productions. The red and silver color combination is a traditional choice for various freshwater species, and the stamped lettering on the blade remains remarkably crisp.
