Museum Archive: Vintage Worth PÖС Chop UV​, 2/5oz Nickel/Red UV fishing spoon #17050

Flashy nickel and vibrant red UV paint define the finish of this Worth PÖС Chop UV spoon, a classic American-made attractor. Weighing in at 2/5 oz (11 g) and measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in length, its teardrop profile is sized for effective casting or trolling in various water conditions. The stamped metal body features a distinctive nickel stripe cutting through the bold red coating, which is specifically formulated to react under ultraviolet light as demonstrated in the dark-room imagery. Stamped in the USA, this lure represents the functional craftsmanship of the Worth company from Stevens Point, Wisconsin. The hardware includes sturdy split rings and a sharp, bronzed treble hook. Minor surface scratches are visible on the nickel plating from previous handling, though the paint remains vibrant and the metal maintains a strong shine, warranting a condition rating of 4/5. The split rings are original and secure, ready for the water or a collector's display.
