Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Thunderbolt UV, 1/8oz Fluorescent Orange / Nickel fishing spoon #8549

Weighing in at 1/8 oz (3.5 g), this compact spoon utilizes a Fluorescent Orange and Nickel color scheme typical of the Acme Thunderbolt UV series. The 1 1/4" (3 cm) body, designated by product code 8549, features a lightning-bolt-shaped section that exposes the bright nickel plating beneath the orange coating. Under UV light, the fluorescent paint emits a distinct glow, a technical detail intended for visibility in low-light environments. Manufactured in the USA, the lure is equipped with a single treble hook and remains in excellent condition with a 5/5 rating. The contrast between the bright orange paint and the polished nickel reverse provides a varied visual profile when casting or trolling.
