Museum Archive: Vintage Joe's Flies UV, 3/16oz Fire Tiger spinning lure #6604

A vibrant Fire Tiger pattern dominates the teardrop blade of this spinner, making it a standout piece from the American-made Joe’s Flies lineup. Tipping the scales at 3/16oz (6g), this specimen features a meticulously tied feathered trailer in a mix of cream and chartreuse hues. The construction relies on a classic inline design with a weighted silver-toned body and a trailing treble hook behind the feathered dressing. Under UV light, the Joe’s Flies UV (Product Code 6604) reveals its specialty, with the blade and trailer emitting a distinct glow that changes its visual profile for deep-water or low-light scenarios. Measuring 3 1/4" (8cm) in total length, the lure is in exceptional 5/5 condition, showing the crisp black tiger stripes and bright neon gradients as clearly as when it first left the factory. Anglers often reach for these when a combination of spinner flash and a realistic fly-like profile is needed to target trout or smallmouth bass. The hardware includes a wire-wrapped eyelet for secure line attachment and a secondary hook integrated within the feathered body.
