Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Fiord Spoon, 1/8oz copper fishing spoon #23957

Weighing in at 1/8 oz (3.4 g), this vintage casting spoon is a notable find for any light-tackle enthusiast. Stamped clearly on the concave copper-finished body is the 'FIORD JR.' designation, marking it as a rare specimen from Acme's past production in the USA. Measuring exactly 1 1/2" (3.5 cm), the blade features the classic elongated teardrop shape synonymous with the Fiord lineup, which has since been discontinued by the manufacturer. The hardware consists of a sturdy split ring at the head and another connecting a sharp treble hook, all maintaining their integrity. With a condition rating of 5/5, the metal surface shows a clean, warm copper hue that characterizes these older American-made lures. Specifically cataloged under product code 23957, this model was originally designed for both casting and jigging applications, intended to entice even the most passive predators. Its streamlined profile was engineered for distance, making it a reliable tool for reaching deep-water structure or schooling fish.
