Museum Archive: Acme Phoebe, 1/4oz Frog fishing spoon #10389

Spotted in a classic "Frog" pattern (FRG), this metal spoon features a vibrant yellow and green finish with dark circular accents. Weighing 1/4 oz (7g), the lure is preserved in its original retail blister pack, representing a historical transition period for Acme Tackle Co. shortly after they acquired the Phoebe design from V.B. Wright. The stamped metal body is engineered with unique hydrodynamic properties intended to create a three-dimensional illusion when retrieved through the water. Based on the Providence, R.I. manufacturing address listed on the back of the card, this specimen is a genuine piece of American tackle history. It remains unused in its original packaging, maintaining its factory-fresh appearance. A sturdy treble hook is secured to the tail, intended for casting or trolling in both shallow and deep water environments.
