Museum Archive: Vintage Mister Twister Sportfisher UV, 1/4oz Chartreuse fishing lure #8975

Chartreuse scales and a high-contrast honeycomb pattern define the visual profile of this American-made vintage find. Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g) and measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, this specimen is a specialized variant of the Sportfisher lineup. The fluorescent finish is engineered to glow vividly under UV light, a feature specifically useful for maintaining visibility in deeper or stained water. Designed to reach 7 ft (2.1 m), the clear, elongated diving lip is factory-set to target mid-depth structures. Labeled under product code 8975, the lure features an oversized yellow eye with a black pupil and original dark-finished treble hooks. This 5/5 rated specimen shows a vibrant finish and clean hardware, reflecting the quality typical of Mister Twister’s USA production.
