A bold red finish with a white lightning bolt pattern defines the convex side of this classic spoon. Weighing in at 1/8oz (3.5g) and measuring 1 1/4" (3 cm) in length, this specimen from Acme features the iconic humped-back shape that established the Little Cleo as a versatile casting lure in the USA. The concave back reveals a polished gold-toned brass surface stamped with the "LITTLE CLEO" name, a hallmark of authenticity for this American-made piece. Rated 5/5, the lure is in excellent condition with the finish and hardware remaining bright and clean. It comes equipped with a sturdy silver-colored split ring and a sharp treble hook. Listed under product code 18783, this color variation provides a high-contrast visual profile, combining the vibrant red and white paint with the metallic flash of the brass-toned interior.
