Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Little CleoUV, 2/3oz fishing spoon #4910

Five bright orange-red spots punctuate the fluorescent yellow body of this 2 1/4 inch (5.5 cm) casting spoon. The Little Cleo branding and 2/3 oz (18 g) weight are deeply stamped into the polished silver reverse side, identifying a classic American design. Carrying product code 4910, the UV finish on this particular lure is designed to react under ultraviolet light for increased visibility in deeper columns or low-light conditions. Hardware consists of a clean treble hook and split rings that remain in high-quality condition. This specimen rates at a 5/5, exhibiting a very well-maintained surface and vibrant, crisp paint. At 18 g (2/3 oz), the density of the metal body allows for substantial distance when casting from piers or shorelines.
