Museum Archive: Acme Stee-Lee UV, 1/2oz Nickel / Orange fishing spoon #10371

A nickel-plated body paired with fluorescent orange stripes defines the visual profile of this 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) Acme Stee-Lee UV. Weighing 1/2 oz (14 g), the spoon features a subtle hammered texture across its metallic surface, which interacts with the high-visibility pigment. Under ultraviolet light, the orange bands transition into a luminous red-orange glow, a technical feature utilized for deep-water visibility or low-light conditions. This specimen, assigned product code 10371, remains unused with a condition rating of 6. The hardware is comprised of a bronzed treble hook attached via a split ring, reflecting the heavy-duty construction standards of the manufacturer. A line-tie hole is cleanly punched at the narrow end of the teardrop-shaped blade to accommodate various snap or knot configurations.
