Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo, 1 1/4oz Nickel / Green fishing spoon #9827

Split directly down the middle, the finish on this heavy casting spoon pairs a high-polish nickel with a vibrant green stripe. Weighing a substantial 1 1/4 oz (35g), this Acme Little Cleo, cataloged as product code 9827, is designed for long-distance casting or reaching deep thermal layers while trolling. The 3 1/4" (8cm) brass body carries the signature humped profile that has made this USA-made lure a staple for salmon and steelhead anglers for generations. On the reverse side, the name "LITTLE CLEO" is crisply stamped into the metal. This specific specimen remains in excellent 5/5 condition, showing a bright, reflective surface. It is rigged with a strong treble hook secured by a heavy-duty split ring, and the nose is cleanly drilled for a snap or direct line attachment.
