Measuring exactly 1 1/2" (4cm), the small-frame design of this specimen highlights the precision of ABU's manufacturing before the transition to Abu Garcia. The Little Daffy, carrying product code 24319, is finished in a bright gold with two distinct red plastic side fins that create a unique silhouette for a casting spoon. At 1/4oz (7g), it provides enough heft for accurate placement while maintaining a delicate presentation. The hardware is remarkably well-preserved, featuring a clean treble hook and a robust swivel at the nose. Rated 5/5, the gold plating is bright and the red accents are well-defined without signs of wear. This USA-sourced rarity captures a specific moment in the brand's timeline, offering collectors a look at the early innovative designs that preceded the modern era.
