Polished to a high gold shine, the 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) metal body of this spoon features a detailed scale pattern that creates a lifelike, three-dimensional appearance when light hits the surface. This Acme Phoebe, weighing in at 3/16 oz (5 g), is designed with a specific hydrodynamic profile that allows it to be fished effectively in both shallow water and at greater depths. Identified by product code 18819, the specimen is in 5/5 condition, featuring a pristine gold finish and original hardware. On the smooth underside, the name is clearly stamped into the metal, highlighting its manufacturer's heritage. The lure's fish-like silhouette, complete with a dorsal fin and tail, is paired with a matching gold-finished treble hook attached via a sturdy split ring. Because of its unique shape, the metal maintains a consistent visual presence whether retrieved slowly or at a faster pace. A single line tie hole is drilled at the head, ensuring a secure point of contact for the angler.
