Museum Archive: Vintage Renosky Lures Swiss Swing 5, 1/3oz Nickel / Brass spinning lure #7055

The stamped 'SWISS SWING 5' text on the brass blade immediately marks this French-made spinner as a classic piece of European design. Weighing 1/3oz (9g) and measuring 3 1/4" (8cm) in length, the lure features a distinctive scaled texture on its blade that creates visual depth. A torpedo-shaped nickel body provides the central weight, leading back to a treble hook dressed in natural-toned yellow and black barred feathers. Identified by product code 7055, this Renosky Lures specimen shows high-quality assembly in its wire-wrapped components and clean hardware. French manufacturing during this era was particularly known for precision in blade balance, a trait visible in the symmetry of this feathered type. In 5/5 condition, the metal components are bright and the dressing is fully intact.
