Museum Archive: Vintage Aeroplane Spinner Aero, 1/4oz fishing spoon #12051

Measuring a compact 1 1/2" (3.7cm), the teardrop-shaped body of this Aero spoon is finished in a high-visibility fluorescent pink. Under ultraviolet light, the finish transforms, as the UV-reactive coating emits a deep red glow intended for visibility in low-light conditions. A sharp treble hook is attached via a split ring to the broader end of the stamped metal, while a clean line-tie hole sits at the tapered nose. This specimen, identified by product code 12051, originates from the USA and maintains a 5/5 condition with a vibrant, uniform surface. Weighing in at 1/4oz (7g), the lure is built for a variety of casting and vertical jigging techniques. The Aeroplane Spinner company utilized this specific fluorescent paint to enhance the profile of their classic 'Aero' series lures.
