Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo UV, 2/5oz Fire Tiger fishing spoon #12268

A vibrant Fire Tiger finish defines this specimen, blending green, yellow, and orange hues with bold black tiger stripes along its convex body. Acme’s legendary Little Cleo design, cataloged under product code 12268, remains a staple for trout and salmon anglers who appreciate its unique hump-backed shape. Weighing in at 2/5 oz (11 g) and measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, the spoon is built for substantial casting distance. The integrated UV-reactive coating allows the lure to stay visible in low-light conditions or deeper water columns where standard colors might fade. A sturdy split ring connects the silver-toned treble hook, ensuring reliability during heavy strikes. Looking closely at the finish and hardware, the condition is a solid 5/5. This USA-manufactured piece represents the quality construction characteristic of traditional North American tackle production.
