Museum Archive: Vintage Lindy / Little Joe Lindy Shadling UV, 3/16oz Orange Tiger fishing lure #11885

Sporting a vibrant Orange Tiger pattern, this vintage Lindy Shadling UV weighs in at 3/16oz (5.5g). It is an authentic piece of American tackle history from the 1980s, produced by the Lindy / Little Joe company in the USA. Measuring 2" (5cm), the body profile mimics small shad or panfish, featuring a distinct arched back and a prominent diving lip. This specific specimen, identified by product code 11885, is treated with a specialized UV finish designed to increase visibility in stained water or low-light environments. The hardware consists of two belly and tail treble hooks. The paint remains crisp, with the black tiger stripes showing sharp contrast against the fluorescent orange base, and the overall state is exceptionally clean, earning a 5/5 condition rating. A dark, narrow stripe runs along the spine, terminating at the realistic eye placement on the head.
