Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kamlooper Wee, 1/8oz nickel/red/black fishing spoon #22229

Stamped clearly on the polished reverse side are the "WEE" and "KAMLOOPER" identifiers, marking this as a genuine piece of Acme tackle history from the USA. The front face features a classic nickel base with two vibrant red sections decorated with black dots, a pattern favored for its high visibility in various water conditions. A bronze-tone treble hook is secured by a sturdy split ring at the rear, while the 1 1/4" (3cm) spoon body tapers toward a clean line-tie hole at the front. Tipping the scales at 1/8oz (3.5g), this specimen carries the specific product code 22229 and represents the smallest profile in the Kamlooper family. Its appearance is exceptionally well-preserved, earning a 5/5 rating for the clarity of the paint and the brilliance of the nickel plating. Acme lures are recognized by trout and panfish anglers for their heavy-gauge metal construction, which provides substantial casting distance for such a compact frame.
