Museum Archive: Vintage Boss Lures Boss Spoon, 2/3oz Fire Tiger fishing spoon #4006

At a versatile weight of 2/3 oz (19 g), this Australian-made Boss Spoon is a standout example of high-visibility tackle engineering from Boss Lures. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm), the lure features a classic Fire Tiger finish that transitions from a bright yellow spine to a teal-green belly, accented by an orange-tipped nose. Deep black tiger stripes are layered over a field of fine glitter, which provides a constant shimmer. When exposed to UV light, the fluorescent coating reacts with a powerful green glow, a technical detail designed for deep water or low-light casting and trolling. This specimen, identified by product code 4006, is in 4/5 condition, showing a well-maintained finish and sturdy hardware. The heavy-gauge treble hook and robust split ring indicate it was built for serious work on the water, while the teardrop profile remains a favorite among collectors of vintage Australian lures.
