Vintage Acme Phoebe, 1/4oz gold fishing spoon #20853

Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), this gold-finished spoon features a distinct three-dimensional scale pattern that mimics the texture of a real baitfish. Stamped clearly with "PHOEBE" on its smooth reverse side, the curved profile of this 2" (5 cm) lure is engineered for effective use at multiple depths. Identified by product code 20853, the specimen is a classic example of American tackle manufacturing from Acme. The gold finish maintains a bright luster across the fish-shaped body, and the piece is in excellent condition, rated 5/5. Original hardware is intact, including the split ring and the treble hook. The unique hydrodynamic design, meant to create an illusion of three-dimensionality, allows the lure to be utilized effectively in both shallow and deep-water environments. Subtle anatomical details, like the fins and tail, contribute to the lure's profile during steady retrieves.
