Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Phoebe, 1/4oz copper fishing spoon #19732

Two inches (5 cm) in length, the stamped metal body of this spoon captures the silhouette of a baitfish with remarkably deep-set scale detailing. This Acme Phoebe, identified by product code 19732, is finished in a rich copper that provides a distinct visual profile under various lighting conditions. Made in the USA, the lure's design utilizes specific hydrodynamic properties to create a three-dimensional illusion, an intentional feature from Acme's development team meant to be effective in both deep and shallow environments. The specimen is in excellent 5/5 condition, retaining its lustrous metallic surface and original hardware. Anglers often utilize this 1/4 oz (7 g) weight for casting, as it allows for a wide range of retrieval speeds from fast to slow and steady. A single treble hook is mounted at the tail end via a sturdy split ring.
