Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo, 2/5oz Gold fishing spoon #15962

Stamped clearly on the inner concave surface, the "LITTLE CLEO® 2/5 OZ." lettering identifies this specimen as a staple of the Acme Tackle Company line. Finished in a bright, reflective Gold, this 2 1/4" (5.5cm) spoon is a prime example of the brand’s enduring USA-based manufacturing. Weighing in at 2/5oz (11g), the lure carries enough mass for long-distance casting toward distant structure or deeper holes. The product code 15962 features a sturdy rear split ring and a sharp, three-pronged treble hook. Its condition is remarkably high, earning a 5/5 rating for its clean, mirror-like surfaces. The unique humped profile is designed specifically for casting and trolling applications where a heavy-bodied metal lure is required to reach the strike zone. A single, precisely centered hole at the leading edge serves as the attachment point for your terminal tackle.
