Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo, 2/5oz Black / Nickel / purple fishing spoon #3582

Hammered textures on the convex surface of this 2 1/4" (5.5cm) spoon create a distinct scalloped pattern, catching light across its deep purple and black gradient finish. Coming from the American workshops of Acme, this Little Cleo is a staple for those targeting species ranging from trout to walleye. This specific specimen, carrying product code 3582, weighs in at 2/5oz (11.5g) and features a polished nickel reverse side which remains bright and reflective. The single treble hook is securely attached with a heavy-duty split ring, suitable for both casting and trolling applications. Rated as a 5/5, the lure is in excellent condition, with the paint and metal finish appearing remarkably well-preserved. Small details like the precise curve of the spoon's wide body are fundamental to the USA-made Acme quality that veteran anglers recognize.
