Vintage Acme Kastmaster, 1/4oz nickel fishing spoon #23696

Stamped clearly into the nickel-plated surface is the iconic branding identifying this as an authentic Acme Tackle Co. Kastmaster, a staple in American tackle boxes for decades. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm), this specimen exhibits the precise geometric wedge cut that defines the brand's commitment to balance and aerodynamic casting. This particular lure, cataloged as product code 23696, weighs in at 1/4oz (7g), making it an ideal size for targeting a variety of freshwater predators. The nickel finish remains highly reflective and bright, earning a condition rating of 4/5 for its well-maintained surface. It features a sturdy, silver-tone treble hook attached by a durable split ring at the tapered end. The solid metal construction and specific alloy used by Acme in the USA ensure that the lure maintains its physical integrity even after years of use. At the leading edge, a single, clean-drilled hole provides a secure point for a snap or direct line tie.
