Museum Archive: Vintage Wolverine tackle Cobra UV, 1/2oz Hammered Nickel / Chartreuse fishing spoon #8514

Hammered nickel finishes like the one on this Cobra lure are legendary for creating a multi-directional flash that mimics scattering baitfish. Produced in the USA by Wolverine Tackle, this 1/2oz (14g) spoon features a distinct chartreuse stripe that stands out against the textured metal. The UV properties of this model, which carries product code 8514, are clearly demonstrated in the secondary image, where the pigment reacts strongly under ultraviolet light for increased visibility in deeper water. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5cm) in length, the spoon is outfitted with a reliable treble hook and a strong split ring for trolling or casting. This specific specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing no signs of wear on its bright surfaces or hardware. The transition between the high-polish nickel and the vibrant chartreuse paint remains sharp and well-defined.
