Luminescent properties under ultraviolet light define the visual identity of this specimen, as shown in the secondary image where the body radiates a bright green glow. Identified by product code 8168, the Rapala Husky Jerk 7 UV features the BHO color pattern, consisting of a vibrant orange head, a scaled gold side, and a yellow-toned back. This Irish-made lure weighs 1/4 oz (7 g) and measures 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length. Engineered as a suspender with neutral buoyancy, it is designed to hold its position in the water column at depths between 5 and 6 feet (1.5 - 1.8 m). The hardware includes two dark-finished treble hooks, and the clear diving lip remains crisp. This particular example is in 5/5 condition, maintaining a clean finish and sharp details throughout its construction. It is a versatile choice for anglers utilizing casting or trolling techniques for species like walleye, trout, or perch.
