Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Phoebe, 1/4oz Nickel / Green fishing spoon #9068

Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), this American-made spoon features a curved, fish-like silhouette that defines the Acme Phoebe series. Measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, the lure is finished in a Nickel / Green colorway, where a rich green gradient is applied over deep-stamped scales on the upper portion of the body. The reverse side remains a clean, polished nickel and clearly displays the stamped "PHOEBE" name, consistent with product code 9068. Its specific hydrodynamic shape is designed to produce a three-dimensional illusion, an attribute that makes the design effective in both shallow flats and deeper columns. The hardware consists of a top-mounted line tie hole and a tail-mounted treble hook secured by a split ring. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, maintaining a brilliant reflective surface and sharp detail throughout the metal stamping. Anglers often find success using this model with a variety of retrieval speeds, from slow crawls to faster tempos.
