Museum Archive: Vintage Strike King Model 6XD UV, 1oz fishing lure #14273

Bright UV-reactive finishes define the profile of this deep-diving crankbait, making it highly visible in low-light environments. Weighing 1 oz (28 g) with a body length of 3 1/4" (8 cm), the Strike King Model 6XD UV is engineered to reach depths between 7.8 ft and 19.6 ft (2.4 – 6 m). This specific specimen, carrying product code 14273, features a blue back that transitions into a yellow-chartreuse scale-textured side and a subtle orange throat. The hardware consists of two treble hooks attached via sturdy split rings, supporting a large clear diving lip designed for casting or trolling for pike and zander. Its condition is rated at 5/5, with the finish and large yellow eyes appearing remarkably well-preserved. When exposed to ultraviolet light, the body emits a strong green glow, a feature specifically integrated into this USA-made model for deep-water visibility.
