Museum Archive: Vintage Other Flash Fish UV, 1/8oz Gold / Orange UV Glow in UV light, Fluorescent fishing spoon #4868

Stamped with the 'FLASH FISH' name on its flat reverse side, this 1/8 oz (3.4 g) spoon showcases a dual-finish design intended for varying light conditions. One side is meticulously embossed with a gold scale pattern that mimics a small baitfish, while the back is coated in a vibrant fluorescent orange. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 4868, is an excellent example of American manufacturing. Its orange paint is formulated to glow under UV light, providing enhanced visibility in deeper or murky water. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) from head to tail, the hardware consists of a silver-finished treble hook secured by a split ring at the rear. The 5/5 condition rating reflects a very well-preserved finish, with the gold plating and fluorescent paint remaining bright and intact. A circular line-tie hole is positioned at the front of the lure to facilitate casting or trolling applications.
