Four distinct circular ports are punched through the body of this 4 1/2" (11.5 cm) trolling spoon, identifying it as the Heddon Sounder UV. Carrying the product code 19980, this 2/3 oz (19 g) lure features a vibrant green front face accented with black-and-green splatter patterns. The construction includes two silver-toned metal fins near the head and a robust treble hook at the tail. Flipping the spoon over reveals the brass base metal where the white UV coating shows some gentle signs of wear, consistent with its 4/5 condition rating. A vintage "HEDDON SOUNDER" label remains clearly visible on the interior surface, marking its origin from the USA production lines. The white UV-reactive pigments on the reverse side were intended by Heddon to provide a distinct visual target when sunlight penetrates into the water column.
