Museum Archive: Vintage The Producers Willy's Worm UV, 1/4oz Green / Orange fishing lure #11232

Green vertical stripes set against a dark olive back define the visual profile of this Producers Willy's Worm UV, a classic American-made rarity. Weighing in at 1/4 oz (8 g), this 2" (5 cm) specimen features a vibrant orange belly that extends forward to form the wide, integrated diving lip. The yellow eyes with black pupils provide a distinct visual contrast against the green head. Cataloged under product code 11232, this particular lure is notable for its UV-reactive finish on the stripes, designed to catch light in varied water conditions. The hardware consists of two treble hooks in clean condition. The paint transition between the deep green top and the bright orange underside remains sharp, contributing to its 4/5 condition rating. Every detail, from the rounded body shape to the specific eye placement, reflects the design choices characteristic of The Producers' lineage.
