Nickel plating serves as the base for the reverse side of this specimen, stamped clearly with the "Little Cleo" brand and its 1/3 oz (9 g) weight. This specific piece represents a rare transitional phase in tackle history, manufactured shortly after Acme acquired the product line. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm), the spoon features a well-defined Rainbow Trout pattern on the front face, where soft pink and blue gradients meet a row of dark dots along the midline. The rear face retains its polished nickel shine, allowing the stamped "LITTLE CLEO," "1/3 OZ," and "WIG-L-LURE" text to remain perfectly legible. In a condition rated 5/5, the lure appears exceptionally well-preserved, with its original bronze treble hook still sharp and its split-ring connection firm. Originating from the USA, the design is optimized for casting across various water conditions. The line tie hole at the nose is clean and round, ready for a snap or direct knot, and the product code for this item is 14836.
