Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo, 1/3oz nickel/blue fishing spoon #18953

Sporting a classic nickel and blue honeycomb pattern, often referred to as 'bubbles,' this Acme Little Cleo is a staple for those targeting everything from trout to pike. Weighing in at 1/3 oz (9g) and measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm), the spoon features a distinctively wide, weight-forward design suited for both long-distance casting and deep-water trolling. This specific specimen, identified by product code 18953, showcases a vibrant translucent blue over the stamped scale texture on one half, while the other half and the back remain a highly reflective nickel. It arrives with its original hardware, including a strong split ring and a bronze-finish treble hook. This USA-manufactured lure is in remarkable shape, earning a condition rating of 5/5 for its clean, well-preserved surfaces. The heavy gauge metal used in its construction ensures the spoon maintains its depth during a steady retrieve.
