Museum Archive: Vintage Producers Crawdad UV, 1/4oz Green Tiger fishing lure #8649

Sporting a vibrant Green Tiger pattern, this Producers Crawdad UV features a distinct crawfish-profile body accented with dark spotting and orange undertones. It measures 2 1/4" (6cm) in length and weighs 1/4oz (7g), making it a standard size for various freshwater pursuits. Under ultraviolet light, the finish exhibits a bright glow, a design choice specifically intended to catch the eye of perch, zander, or pike in deeper or murky water. The belly of the lure is stamped with both "Producers" and "Crawdad" markings, a classic identifier for collectors. For technical performance, the clear diving lip allows the floating body to reach depths between 5ft (1.5m) and 6.5ft (2m) during a steady retrieve. This particular specimen, cataloged under product code 8649, remains in 5/5 condition with the original paint retaining its factory sheen. The two treble hooks are securely attached via sturdy split rings, showing only the slightest natural darkening from time in the tackle box.
