Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Phoebe, 1/8oz Gold fishing spoon #5804

Stamped directly into the metal on the reverse concave side is the iconic PHOEBE identifier, marking this as a genuine piece of American-made tackle history. Weighing in at a precise 1/8oz (4g), this Acme Phoebe spans 1 1/2" (4cm) and features a brilliant Gold finish that remains in 5/5 condition. The lure's silhouette meticulously mimics a small baitfish, complete with embossed scale detailing that catches light to provide a three-dimensional appearance. Designed with unique hydrodynamic properties, the curved metal body allows for versatile use in both deep water and shallows. Originating from the USA under product code 5804, the specimen is rigged with its original hardware, including a sharp treble hook connected by a sturdy split ring at the tapered tail. This specific model is widely used for various retrieve speeds, relying on its distinct shape to maintain stability and visual appeal.
