Museum Archive: Acme Dazzler, 1/4oz Blue / Nickel fishing spoon #1269

Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in length, this vintage spoon represents a discontinued design from the makers of the famous Little Cleo. The Blue / Nickel finish displays a soft blue gradient over the reflective metal body, a color pattern intended for clear water conditions. Weighing 1/4oz (7g), the Dazzler D-2 model was engineered for casting or trolling, proving effective for inactive pike in shallow zones up to 3.2ft (1m) deep where there is little to no current. This American-made specimen, listed under product code 1269, is unused and remains sealed in its original vintage card and bubble packaging. The hardware includes a factory-set treble hook and a sturdy top split ring, characteristic of Acme’s mid-century manufacturing standards in the USA.
