Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little Cleo UV, 3/4oz Yellow / Red / Nickel fishing spoon #4562

Stamped into the polished nickel reverse of this 3/4oz (21g) casting spoon, the classic brand name and weight markings identify it as an authentic piece of American fishing history. This Acme Little Cleo UV features a high-visibility fluorescent yellow face accented by five distinct orange-red dots, a pattern specifically designed to react under ultraviolet light for better visibility in stained or deep water. The spoon measures 2 1/2" (6.5cm) and retains a clean finish, earning a solid 4/5 condition rating for its well-preserved surfaces. Its hardware includes a robust treble hook secured by a heavy-duty split ring at the base. Listed under product code 4562, this specimen showcases the signature humped profile that has defined the brand's production in the USA for generations. The polished nickel backside provides a natural flash contrast to the vibrant UV-reactive paint on the front, while the precision-drilled line-tie hole remains clear and ready for rigging.
