Museum Archive: Vintage South Bend Super-Duper 503 UV, fishing spoon #12421

Glow-in-the-dark properties define the finish of this South Bend Super-Duper 503 UV, making it a specialized choice for deep water or overcast days. Identified by product code 12421, this lure features a unique U-shaped folded metal body that combines the characteristics of both a spinner and a spoon. The vibrant paint transitions from a bright chartreuse to a saturated orange, with the UV-reactive coating providing high visibility in low-light conditions. This particular specimen is unused, appearing in pristine condition with its original factory finish and stamped markings fully intact. A sharp black treble hook is attached at the tail via a split ring, while a wire snap is pre-rigged at the head for easy line attachment.
