Weighing in at 2 oz (58g), this Gibbs Croc UV is a substantial piece of metal designed for long-distance casting and deep-water visibility. The 14533 model features the iconic Fire Tiger pattern, transitioning from a warm red on the spine to a bright yellow and finally a vivid green belly. These colors are defined by a series of bold, black vertical stripes that run the length of the 4 1/4" (11cm) body. What sets this particular spoon apart is its response to UV light; while it looks like a traditional attractor in daylight, it glows brilliantly in darker conditions, as seen in the luminous green and orange hues that emerge in low light. Made in the USA, this specimen carries a 4/5 condition rating, presenting a clean, glossy surface with its hardware—including a robust treble hook and a high-quality swivel—fully intact. The teardrop shape of the Croc is a hallmark of the Gibbs lineup, providing a stable profile during a steady retrieve.
