Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Phoebe, 1/4oz Nickel fishing spoon #13445

Nickel plating gives this spoon a classic flash that catches the light immediately upon entering the water. The deeply stamped scale patterns on the convex side are designed to provide a three-dimensional illusion, mimicking the natural texture of a small baitfish. Measuring 2" (5 cm) and weighing 1/4 oz (7 g), this Acme Phoebe is identified by Product Code 13445 and remains a well-balanced choice for casting across varying depths. Turning the lure over reveals the PHOEBE name stamped clearly into the metal, a hallmark of its American manufacturing heritage. This particular specimen is in 5/5 condition, showcasing a bright, unblemished finish and original hardware. Its specific hydrodynamic body is engineered to perform predictably whether working a fast retrieve or a slow drift through the current. A sturdy split ring connects the tail to a sharp treble hook, maintaining the integrity of the original vintage design.
