Stamped clearly on the polished nickel reverse, the "FIORD SPOON" name and distinctive lightning bolt logo mark this 1/4oz (7g) specimen as a genuine piece of Acme history. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm), the lure features a striking red face accented by a bold white lightning bolt graphic. This specific design, identified by product code 21860, hails from the USA during the 1950s and is a sought-after rarity since Acme no longer produces this particular line. The heavy-gauge metal construction was engineered for superior distance when casting or for maintaining depth during a vertical jigging presentation. Its original hardware remains intact, featuring a bright silver treble hook secured by a split ring. For a collector, the 5/5 condition is especially noteworthy, as the enameled front and the stamped nickel back have remained remarkably clean over the decades.
This specific lure has found its new home. However, we have selected some excellent alternatives for you below.
