Museum Archive: Acme Phoebe, 1/8oz fishing spoon #13535

Scales embossed directly into the metal body provide a three-dimensional illusion that has established the Phoebe as a legendary design in the Acme catalog. Measuring 1 1/2" (4cm) in length, this specimen features a vibrant orange top-edge that transitions into a brilliant silver scale pattern across its flanks. The 1/8oz (4g) stamped metal construction effectively mimics the deep-bodied profile of a juvenile baitfish, complete with small fin protrusions. Carrying product code 13535, the lure's reverse side is finished in polished silver where the "PHOEBE" name is clearly stamped. This particular item is unused, maintaining its original factory shine and sharp gold-tone treble hook. Its hydrodynamic properties allow for versatile use in both shallow and deep water, performing consistently across various retrieval speeds. This USA-made classic remains a favorite for its ability to reflect light and create a lifelike silhouette in the water.
