Museum Archive: Vintage Bay de Noc Bay De Noc Laker Taker UV, 3/4oz Silver / Fluorescent Yellow UV Glow in UV light, Fluorescent fishing spoon #4811

Hammered silver textures define the convex surface of this 4" (10 cm) spoon, providing a complex reflective pattern designed to catch light in deep water. Coded as 4811 by Bay de Noc, the Laker Taker UV features a distinctive fluorescent yellow stripe along one edge that glows under ultraviolet light. Three small plastic flappers—two in green and one in yellow—are riveted to the body; a paired yellow and green set sits near the head on the silver side, while a single green flapper is attached near the tail. Weighing 3/4 oz (21 g), the lure is built with heavy-duty hardware, including a stout treble hook and high-tensile split rings for targeting lake trout. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, with the factory paint and silver plating remaining bright and free of wear. Hand-assembled in the USA, the design relies on the interplay between the dimpled metal and the UV-reactive pigments to remain visible at depth.
