Museum Archive: Vintage Renosky Lures Swiss Swing 5, 1/3oz Nickel / Brass spinning lure #9438

Measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm) in total length, the scale-patterned brass blade provides a distinctive texture that catches the light differently than a smooth finish. A bright orange hackle feather is meticulously tied around the treble hook of this French-made specimen, listed as product code 9438. The nickel-plated teardrop body provides the 1/3 oz (9 g) weight necessary for stable casting. Renosky Lures brought these European designs to the market, and the blade is clearly stamped with the 'Swiss Swing 5' identifier, showing its heritage. Every component remains in excellent condition, with the metallic surfaces and feathering appearing very well preserved, earning a 5/5 rating. The wire construction is straight and the clevis allows for the brass blade to sit properly against the nickel body.
