Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo, 3/16oz fishing spoon #21471

Measuring 1 1/4" (3 cm) in length, this spoon features a distinctive white finish with a vibrant red tip applied over its signature curved body. On the polished silver-toned back, the "LITTLE CLEO" name is clearly stamped, identifying it as a genuine piece of Acme tackle manufactured in the USA. This specific specimen, identified by product code 21471, weighs 3/16 oz (5 g) and is a well-regarded choice for light-tackle casting. It is equipped with sturdy split rings and a sharp treble hook, all appearing in excellent condition with a rating of 5/5. The paint remains crisp and the metal surfaces are bright, reflecting the high manufacturing standards associated with this brand. The humped profile of the metal body is designed to provide a specific hydrodynamic profile for various retrieval speeds without needing additional weights. The classic white and red color scheme remains a staple for anglers seeking high-contrast lures in their collection.
