Museum Archive: Rainbow Plastics Steelhead UV, 1/2oz Fluorescent Orange fishing spoon #4593

Fluorescent Orange coating covers this 1/2oz (14g) casting spoon, a signature color for drawing strikes in murky or deep river runs. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm), this Steelhead UV model from Rainbow Plastics—marketed under the Double X Tackle brand—was engineered as an "Extra Heavy Spoon" to reach the bottom quickly in fast-moving water. The specific specimen, associated with product code 4593, features a UV-reactive finish designed to stand out in the low-light environments often favored by its namesake species. Still housed in its original red, white, and blue American-themed packaging, the lure remains unused and in its original state, representing a classic piece of American-made tackle from Berthoud, Colorado. The hardware consists of a sturdy treble hook secured by a split ring at the base of the teardrop-shaped body. Collectors will appreciate that this item remains in unused condition.
