Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo, 2/5oz Five of Diamonds fishing spoon #12330

Five red diamonds set against a vibrant yellow background define the iconic finish on this 2/5 oz (11 g) casting spoon. Stamped clearly on the reverse metal side with the "LITTLE CLEO ®" name and weight, this Acme lure remains a fine example of USA-made tackle. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, the spoon’s distinct humped profile is balanced for both casting and trolling applications. The original hardware remains intact, featuring a silver-tone treble hook attached via a robust split ring. For a collector, the 5/5 condition rating is evident in the glossy finish, though a small sign of age is visible near the central diamond pattern. Identified by product code 12330, this specimen represents a classic color palette that has been a mainstay for targeting pike and large trout. The rear surface maintains a bright, polished look that provides significant flash under the water's surface.
