A gleaming nickel finish defines the stamped willow blade of this classic USA-made walleye jig. Weighing 1/2oz (14g), the lure is built on a sturdy wire frame featuring two translucent red beads that sit just above the hook eye. The weighted head is finished in a clean Nickel / Red split, where the red pigment reveals its functional secret under ultraviolet light. When exposed to UV, the upper portion of the head emits a bright orange-red fluorescence, designed to increase visibility in the depths where light penetration is limited. A long-shank bronze hook completes the assembly, with the entire specimen appearing in pristine 5/5 condition. This Erie Dearie Walleye Killer UV, identified by product code 8344, represents the evolution of the weight-forward spinner technique popularized on the Great Lakes.
