Red dots over a vibrant yellow base define the eye-catching finish of this South Bend specimen. Weighing 1/8 oz (4.3 g) and measuring 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) in length, the Super-Duper 503 UV (Product Code 12941) features a distinct U-shaped bent metal design, a classic construction from the American manufacturer.

This specific variant is noteworthy for its UV-reactive properties, providing enhanced visibility in low-light or stained water conditions as evidenced by its luminous glow. The hardware includes a black treble hook secured by a split ring at the rear and a line tie at the front.
