Museum Archive: Vintage Renegade Little Diver UV, 2/5oz Fire Tiger fishing lure #8978

Hand-finished jelutong wood construction provides a solid, traditional foundation for this 2/5oz (11g) Renegade Little Diver UV. Sporting a classic Fire Tiger finish, the paint job features a bright yellow-to-green gradient with bold vertical bars and a distinctive red gill slash. Under low-light conditions, the UV-reactive finish reveals a strong luminous glow, a specialized feature for targeting fish in deeper or stained water. Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm), this model is optimized for casting techniques when pursuing species like perch, chub, or asp. The long clear diving lip is designed to reach depths of up to 6.5ft (2.0 m). On this specimen, identified by product code 8978, a light hook swing mark from the rear treble is present on the finish, though the overall integrity remains very high with a condition rating of 4/5.
