Museum Archive: Rainbow Plastics Pot-O-Gold UV, 1/2oz Fluorescent Orange UV Glow in UV light, Fluorescent fishing spoon #4597

Hammered nickel plating provides the primary flash for this Pot-O-Gold UV spoon, bordered by distinct Fluorescent Orange sections that glow under UV light. Weighed at 1/2 oz (14 g), this 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) lure was manufactured in the USA by Rainbow Plastics and bears the product code 4597. It is in unused condition, still housed within its original "Double X Tackle" themed packaging from Berthoud, Colorado. The hardware includes a high-carbon steel treble hook secured to the hammered body. This particular specimen highlights the "Specials" lineup, where UV-reactive finishes were integrated to help anglers target fish in varied light conditions. The back of the cardstock lists common vintage accessories like the Ajust-a-Bubble, showcasing the broader product family from this American manufacturer.
