Museum Archive: Rainbow Plastics Steelhead UV, 1/2oz Hammered Nickel / Fluorescent Orange fishing spoon #4570

Hammered nickel textures on this 1/2 oz (14 g) Steelhead UV spoon are designed to maximize light reflection in the deep, fast-moving waters where steelhead often hold. This specific specimen features vibrant fluorescent orange accents along the edges that react to UV light, a technical choice by Rainbow Plastics to maintain visibility in low-light conditions. Sized at 1 3/4" (4.5 cm), the lure is classified as an extra heavy spoon, which helps it reach depth quickly without being swept away by strong currents. Labeled with product code 4570, this piece is part of the Double X Tackle lineup and was manufactured in the USA. The lure is unused, maintaining its original factory finish and sharp hardware. The vintage carding includes references to other classic Rainbow Plastics products like the Ajusta Bubble and Torpedo Float, highlighting its place in a long tradition of American-made tackle.
