Museum Archive: Tony Accetta Bug-Spoon, 1/2oz Gold fishing spoon #16849

Gold-plated brass construction provides the foundation for this 1/2oz (14g) casting lure, originating from the classic USA workshops of Tony Accetta. Measuring exactly 1 1/2" (4cm) in length, the Bug-Spoon features a distinct teardrop shape that tapers toward the line tie, balanced for precise casting. The rear side of the blade is stamped with the "Bug-Spoon" name in a refined script, clearly legible on the polished metal. The hardware includes a sturdy treble hook attached via a split ring, showing the original gold-toned finish on the shank that matches the body. A second split ring is located at the nose for secure line attachment. This specific specimen, bearing product code 16849, remains unused and retains its original factory shine, reflecting a condition rating of 6. Every edge is smooth and the reflective gold surface remains clear and bright.
