Museum Archive: Vintage TODDCO Main liner UV, 3/4oz Nickel / Red fishing spoon #7518

Nickel and red dominate the split-face finish of this vintage metal spoon, a TODDCO Main liner UV weighing in at 3/4oz (21g). Produced in the USA before 1980, the model 7518 features a heavy-gauge construction intended for casting or trolling. The most striking characteristic is its UV reactivity; while the nickel side offers a high-flash metallic reflection, the red side is treated with a fluorescent coating that glows with a deep orange hue under ultraviolet light. This dual-contrast presentation is designed to maximize visibility in varying depths. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5cm), the specimen is equipped with a stout, original treble hook. It remains in superb condition, earning a 5/5 rating for its clean surfaces and lack of wear. The robust split ring connection highlights the durable build quality typical of TODDCO's production era.
