Museum Archive: Matzuo Lipless UV, 1/2oz Fire Tiger fishing lure #10502

Gold-toned sides transitioning into a vibrant green back define the Fire Tiger aesthetic of this Matzuo Lipless UV rattling lure. Measuring 3" (7.5 cm) in length, this specimen carries the Product Code 10502 and features a specialized UV-reactive finish to enhance visibility in low-light or stained water conditions. The lure is built with a sinking density, allowing for a variable swimming depth depending on retrieve speed and line weight. Its 1/2oz (14g) weight provides the necessary ballast for deep-water casting or trolling for predators like pike, zander, and perch. Dual treble hooks are attached via sturdy split rings to the belly and tail, matching the heavy-duty construction expected for salmon or trout fishing. This specific lure is in unused condition, retaining its factory finish across the textured scales and bright orange belly. Designed as a noise-producing lipless crankbait, the internal rattle system provides auditory presence while the large, realistic eye serves as a distinct strike point.
