Stamped clearly on the polished nickel reverse of this 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) spoon is the iconic "Little Cleo" branding alongside the "WIGL" trademark. This 1980s specimen features a vivid Fire tiger pattern, characterized by a gradient moving from a deep green spine to a bright yellow belly and orange highlights, all overlaid with sharp black stripes. Weighing 2/5 oz (11 g), the lure's signature humped profile is a staple of Acme's USA-made production history. Cataloged under product code 21813, the hardware remains original, consisting of a treble hook reinforced with a brass-toned wrap and a stainless split ring. The paint finish and metal surfaces show no signs of use, warranting a condition rating of 5/5. Acme’s implementation of high-contrast colors during this era reflects the technical shift toward high-visibility lures for casting in varying water clarities. The line tie at the narrow end remains perfectly circular and free of tool marks.
