Stamped deeply into the metal on the concave side, the PHOEBE name identifies this 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) American-made spoon. A lustrous gold finish coats the entire body, showcasing detailed embossing that represents a baitfish’s scales and dorsal fin. Weighing 3/16 oz (5 g), the Acme Phoebe utilizes a curved, three-dimensional profile designed to catch light and displace water effectively. This specific example, listed under product code 20852, remains in top-tier condition with a 5/5 rating, showing the clean surfaces and sharp edges expected of a well-cared-for piece. The hardware consists of a sturdy split ring at the line tie and a sharp treble hook attached to the tail. Because of its hydrodynamic shape, the lure maintains its posture through the water column, making it a reliable tool for both slow-rolling near the bottom and faster retrieves near the surface.
