Vintage Acme Phoebe, 1/4oz copper fishing spoon #24243

Deeply embossed scales across a copper body give this 2" (5 cm) Acme Phoebe a lifelike texture that sets it apart from flatter casting spoons. Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), the lure carries the heritage of Acme’s USA-based production, specifically designed with a curved, hydrodynamic profile that provides a three-dimensional illusion when retrieved through the water column. This particular specimen, identified by product code 24243, is in 5/5 condition, showing a clean surface and sharp hardware. The stamped gill and fin details on the head and tail sections showcase the attention to realism that made this model a favorite for both fast and slow retrieves. Whether worked over shallow weed beds or dropped into deeper pockets, its versatile design remains a testament to mid-century American lure engineering.
