Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo UV, 2/3oz Rainbow Trout fishing spoon #13077

Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm), the stamped metal body of this spoon provides the mass required for long-distance casting or reaching lower depths while trolling. Product code 13077 identifies this 2/3oz (18g) specimen, which features a nuanced Rainbow Trout color scheme consisting of a pink lateral band fading into a yellowish-white belly. Several large black spots are applied over the finish, which is enhanced by a UV-reactive coating designed to increase visibility in low-light conditions or deeper water. The hardware includes a sturdy treble hook and split rings that remain bright. A condition rating of 4/5 reflects some light surface marks and minor paint thinning visible near the edges, though the lure retains a very clean and vibrant appearance. This USA-manufactured spoon represents the classic humped-back design that has been a staple of the Acme catalog for decades.
