Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Phoebe, 1/4oz Gold fishing spoon #14771

Gold plating covers every curve of this 1/4 oz (7 g) metal spoon, mimicking the silhouette of a small baitfish. Measuring exactly 2" (5 cm) in length, this Acme Phoebe, identified by product code 14771, features a distinct scale pattern pressed into the metal to create a three-dimensional effect. This USA-made lure by Acme is crafted with a specific hydrodynamic profile that allows it to be used effectively in both shallow and deeper water. Stamped clearly on the concave side is the Phoebe name, while the nose features a clean line-tie hole. The hardware consists of a treble hook attached via a robust split ring at the tail. This specimen is in excellent condition, rated 5/5, maintaining a bright and highly reflective finish. The design is intended for both fast and smooth retrieves, utilizing its unique shape to create the illusion of three-dimensionality to curious fish.
