Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Dazzler #2, 1/4oz fishing spoon #15748

Weighing in at 1/4oz (7g), this rare, discontinued spoon represents a notable chapter in Acme’s USA-made history. The finish features a smooth gradient from vibrant chartreuse to a deep grass green, but its true utility is revealed in low-light conditions where the entire body exhibits a strong luminescence. Identified by product code 15748, the Dazzler #2 utilizes a distinct central ridge and an elongated teardrop profile to manage its movement in the water. It was originally engineered for casting and trolling in shallow environments up to 3ft (1 m) deep, making it a specialized choice for targeting inactive pike in still waters. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, maintaining a brilliant luster on its paint and crispness in the original treble hook and split ring hardware.
