Museum Archive: Vintage Lindy / Little Joe Lindy Shadling UV, 3/16oz Tiger fishing lure #17339

Orange finishes with distinct black vertical markings define this Tiger color pattern, a classic choice for low-visibility conditions where high contrast is key. Weighing 3/16 oz (5.5 g) and measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, this Lindy Shadling UV carries the product code 17339 and represents a piece of American fishing history from Lindy / Little Joe. This 1980s-era specimen features a UV-reactive finish that glows under ultraviolet light, a technical advancement that collectors still appreciate for its functionality in deeper water. The hardware is in 5/5 condition, featuring original bronze-finished treble hooks that remain sharp and ready for a tackle box display. Its construction includes an integrated diving lip designed for effective bottom-oriented presentations whether you are casting or trolling. Produced in the USA, the lure maintains its vibrant hue and smooth surface texture, characteristic of the quality control during that era of Lindy production.
