Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Phoebe, 1/8oz Copper fishing spoon #16344

Copper plating on this 1/8oz (4g) spoon provides a warm, natural flash that excels in both clear and slightly stained waters. Stamped clearly on the smooth, concave reverse is the "PHOEBE" name, identifying this classic Acme design from the USA. Measuring 1 1/2" (4cm) in length, the lure features a distinctive fish-shaped profile with a detailed scale pattern on the outer surface that catches the light to create a three-dimensional illusion. This particular unit, identified by product code 16344, is equipped with a silver-toned treble hook secured by a matching copper-toned split ring at the tail. The condition of this piece is a clean 5/5, with the metal surfaces retaining their original luster and the stamped details remaining sharp. Its unique hydrodynamic shape allows for effective use across various depths and retrieval speeds, performing reliably whether cast into shallow riffles or worked through deeper pools. A small, precision-drilled line tie hole is located at the nose to ensure the lure maintains its intended orientation.
