Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Thunderbolt, 1/4oz Gold fishing spoon #6445

Weighing in at 1/4oz (7g), this gold-plated casting spoon showcases the clean lines and solid brass construction associated with USA-made Acme tackle. Measuring 2" (4.8cm) in length, the Acme Thunderbolt is a dedicated trout lure with an elongated, slender profile that maintains a high-visibility finish. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 6445, is presented in 5/5 condition, retaining its original brilliant luster across the entire curved surface. The hardware consists of a robust split ring at the tail that holds a sharp treble hook, while a precision-drilled hole at the head provides a secure attachment point for a snap or leader. The metallic finish is uniform and reflective, designed to capture available light at varying depths during a steady retrieve.
