Museum Archive: Vintage South Bend Super-Duper 506 UV, 1/4oz Fluorescent Orange fishing spoon #9851

Fluorescent orange paint covers the U-shaped body of this 1 3/4" (4.5cm) specimen, providing high visibility in various water conditions. Weighing 1/4oz (7g), the Super-Duper 506 UV (Product Code: 9851) features a signature prismatic tape inlay that provides a multi-angled flash. This specific South Bend model is designed with UV-reactive properties, allowing the lure to glow significantly when exposed to ultraviolet light. The construction is centered around a single piece of bent metal, a design hallmark of the USA-made Super-Duper line intended for versatile casting and trolling. A single treble hook is secured to the rear via a robust split ring, while the forward line tie is a simple, clean-punched hole. Rated at 5/5, the condition of this lure is excellent, with no visible wear to the fluorescent coating or the holographic insert. The metallic U-shape is engineered to maintain structural integrity under the pressure of a strike while providing a slim profile.
