Museum Archive: Acme Phoebe, 1/8oz fishing spoon #12903

Stamped with a detailed scale pattern that creates a three-dimensional illusion in the water, this 1 1/2" (4 cm) metal spoon reflects a classic American design. This Acme Phoebe, listed under product code 12903, features a bright silver finish and an anatomical fish profile that has been a favorite for generations of anglers. At a weight of 1/8 oz (4 g), it is sized for light-tackle casting or trolling in both fresh and salt water environments. The vintage packaging highlights its specific "deadly wobbling action," which has proven effective for salmon, pike, bass, and steelhead. This specimen is unused, still housed in its original blister pack which carries the heritage of the Acme Tackle Company. The hardware consists of a treble hook secured by a split ring at the tail, while the head features a pre-drilled line tie point.
