Stamped clearly into the metal on the back, the "Little Cleo" name and 1/3oz (9g) weight mark this as a classic American-made casting spoon. The front of the lure features a striking two-tone finish, pairing a highly reflective nickel surface with a vibrant neon green stripe along one edge. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm) in length, this specimen from the 1980s maintains a very clean look, showing off its original split rings and a sharp, silver-finished treble hook. Rated at 5/5, the hardware and paint application are exceptionally well-preserved, with the nickel plating retaining its mirror-like quality. A small, cleanly drilled hole at the nose is ready for a snap or line tie, while the wide, humped body shape is characteristic of Acme's early production in the USA. This particular model is cataloged under product code 21849.
