Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Phoebe, 3/16oz Nickel fishing spoon #15772

Nickel finish plating provides a reflective, fish-scale texture across the curved body of this 3/16 oz (5.5 g) spoon. Stamped with the 'PHOEBE' name on its concave side, the lure highlights the detailed craftsmanship associated with Acme's American-made heritage. The 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) profile uses a unique design to create a three-dimensional illusion in the water, a feature that has made the model a staple for both deep and shallow applications. Examining the hardware, the original treble hook shows its age and is ready for a replacement to keep it field-ready. Rated at a 4/5 in condition, the body retains its bright luster and the crisp definition of the embossed fins. This specimen, identified by product code 15772, is built for versatility across various retrieve speeds, functioning reliably during both fast and smooth retrieves.
