Museum Archive: Vintage TODDCO Main liner UV, 2/5oz Yellow / Red / Nickel fishing spoon #6878

Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, the stamped metal body of this TODDCO creation features a distinctive central ridge that defines its elongated oval silhouette. This Main liner UV, cataloged under product code 6878, represents American tackle manufacturing from the era ending in 1980. The finish consists of a vibrant yellow fluorescent paint decorated with bright red spots over a solid nickel base. When subjected to UV light, the yellow pigment transitions into a vivid neon green glow, while the red circular accents remain dark for high-contrast visibility. Rated at a 4/5 condition, the specimen shows honest signs of use with minor paint loss along the edges and the raised center line, revealing the polished nickel substrate. It carries a weight of 2/5 oz (12.5 g), balanced for traditional casting or trolling techniques. The hardware setup includes a sharp treble hook secured by a split ring at the tail and a clean attachment eyelet at the nose.
