Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster, 1/4oz nickel/green fishing spoon #23328

Stamped clearly into the polished nickel surface are the "KASTMASTER" and "ACME TACKLE CO" markings, identifying this as an authentic USA-made spoon. Weighing 1/4oz (7g) and measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm) in length, this specimen features a dual-tone "nickel/green" aesthetic where half the face is finished in a vibrant chartreuse paint. The construction relies on a specific alloy and precisely machined proportions that set the original Acme brand apart from common imitations. Classified under product code 23328, it comes equipped with robust split rings and a dark-finished treble hook. In its 5/5 condition, the nickel plating is bright and the painted section remains fully intact. This weight class is traditionally utilized for casting or vertical jigging in deep water or steady currents.
