Museum Archive: Vintage Hildebrandt Spinners Hildebrandt Slab Master Red tail Jig Lure UV , 1/3oz fishing spoon #5712

Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in length, the gold-toned body of the Hildebrandt Slab Master Red tail Jig Lure UV features a prominent red lateral stripe that runs toward the tail. This 1/3 oz (9g) specimen carries the product code 5712 and originates from Hildebrandt Spinners in the USA. Its lead-slab construction is tailored for vertical jigging and deep-water casting applications where reaching the strike zone quickly is essential. The fluorescent finish is built to react under ultraviolet light, enhancing its visibility in stained water or at greater depths. The hardware consists of a red-finished treble hook attached by a steel split ring, echoing the red paint on the lure's aft section. Rated at a condition of 5/5, the surface remains clean and the hardware shows no signs of use. A small, dark eye is situated near the nose of the lure, providing a target point on the heavy metal frame.
