Orange finishes like the one on this 2/5oz (11g) Acme Little Cleo were originally developed to provide maximum visibility in stained or deeper water. This particular specimen, identified by product code 13539, features a distinctive honeycomb texture embossed into the metal on the convex side, which adds a tactile dimension to the bright orange coating. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm), the spoon is finished with a matching smooth orange paint on the reverse side, a characteristic of certain discontinued production runs from this American manufacturer. The hardware consists of a robust silver-toned treble hook attached via a sturdy split ring at the rear. Given its 5/5 condition, the lure’s paint remains remarkably crisp and uniform across the entire surface. This USA-made classic is built with the traditional teardrop shape that has made the Little Cleo a staple in tackle boxes for decades. The line-tie hole at the narrow end is cleanly punched, suitable for direct rigging or use with a snap swivel.
