Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Baby Cobra, 3/32oz Red / White / Nickel fishing spoon #5414

Stamped clearly into the polished nickel underside is the 'BABY COBRA' name, identifying this rare find from Acme’s legacy catalog. Featuring a classic red and white diagonal stripe across its convex face, this specimen (Product Code 5414) represents a discontinued era of USA-made metalwork. Weighing in at a delicate 3/32 oz (3 g) and measuring 1 1/4" (3 cm) in length, it is a quintessential ultralight casting spoon. The nickel plating provides a bright contrast to the bold enamel paint, and the hardware includes a secure split ring leading to a sharp treble hook. Rated at a 5/5 condition, the finish remains vibrant and well-preserved. Anglers often look for these specific Acme lures for panfish or trout applications due to their small profile and durable construction. The line tie at the top is cleanly punched, allowing for easy connection to fine-diameter lines.
