Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo, 1/8oz Red / Black / Nickel fishing spoon #10721

Fluorescent red paint dominates the surface of this 1 1/4" (3 cm) spoon, which features a distinct pattern of black dots over a nickel base. This 1/8 oz (3.5 g) Acme Little Cleo, identified by product code 10721, is finished with a UV-reactive coating that glows intensely in darker waters or under ultraviolet light. Sections of the bright nickel plating are left exposed through the paint to create a high-contrast visual. The hardware is comprised of a sturdy split ring and a silver-finished treble hook. In its current 5/5 condition, the lure appears exceptionally well-maintained, preserving the integrity of the paint and the metallic shine. This USA-made classic utilizes its unique humped shape to achieve its specific presentation during casting or trolling.
