A striking nickel/green split finish defines the face of this 1/8oz (3.5g) casting spoon, a classic design from the American manufacturer Acme. Measuring 1 1/4" (3cm) in length, the curved metal body bears the iconic "LITTLE CLEO" stamp clearly on its polished nickel backside. This specific specimen, identified by product code 18487, is fitted with a sharp treble hook and sturdy split rings, reflecting the quality of its USA origin. The green portion of the finish has a jewel-like translucency that allows the underlying metallic surface to reflect light through the pigment. Maintained in great shape, the lure carries a condition rating of 5/5, showing a very clean surface and bright hardware. Its signature humped profile is designed to concentrate weight for distance, making it a versatile tool for various casting environments.
