Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo, 1/8oz Orange fishing spoon #9493

Dimpled honeycomb texturing across the convex surface of this orange spoon helps scatter light even in murky conditions. Measuring 1 1/4" (3cm) and weighing 1/8 oz (3.5g), this Acme Little Cleo is a classic American-made casting lure that has earned its place in the history of USA tackle manufacturing. This specific specimen, cataloged as product code 9493, features a uniform orange finish on both the textured front and the smooth concave back. It is outfitted with a sharp treble hook and dual split rings to facilitate easy attachment and movement while casting or trolling in freshwater. Maintaining a 5/5 condition rating, the lure shows a remarkably clean finish with no significant wear to the paint or the silver-toned hardware. The teardrop profile is specifically engineered for density, allowing for long casts despite its small footprint.
