Museum Archive: Vintage Rainbow Plastics, 3/5oz Nickel / Pink fishing spoon #8212

Nickel backing provides a high-flash contrast to the fluorescent front on this 2 1/4" (6 cm) spoon. Manufactured in the USA by Rainbow Plastics under product code 8212, this piece weighs in at 3/5 oz (16 g), providing enough mass for targeted casting into deeper structure. The finish is a classic Nickel / Pink combination, though the painted side presents as a vivid hot tone that reacts intensely under UV light. This UV glow feature is specifically designed to remain visible to fish even as standard colors fade in the water column. The specimen shows visible signs of its life in a tackle box with honest paint loss and surface wear along the edges, resulting in a 3/5 condition rating. It retains its original hardware, including a strong split ring and a classic treble hook.
