Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Phoebe, 1/4oz Pink Metallic fishing spoon #9153

Pink Metallic plating covers the stamped metal body of this classic Acme Phoebe, a design that has been a mainstay for anglers across the USA. Measuring 2" (5 cm) and weighing in at 1/4oz (7 g), this lure carries the product code 9153. The front surface is characterized by a detailed scale pattern and embossed fins, which creates a three-dimensional illusion when retrieved through the water. Its unique hydrodynamic shape is engineered to function across various depths, whether worked fast over the shallows or more slowly in deeper pools. On the reverse side, the authentic manufacturer name is clearly stamped into the polished finish. Rated at 5/5, the finish is exceptionally clean, maintaining its high-gloss reflective quality throughout the entire profile. The hardware consists of a bright silver split ring and a sharp, three-pronged treble hook attached at the tail.
