Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Dazzler #3, 3/5oz Nickel / Green fishing spoon #0557

Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm), the nickel-plated body of this spoon features vibrant green prismatic tape sections designed to catch light in shallow water. This specific Acme Dazzler #3, identified by Product Code 0557, is a discontinued rarity from the USA that collectors often track down for its unique profile. Weighing in at 3/5oz (17g), the lure is engineered for casting or trolling applications, particularly effective when targeting pike in depths up to 3ft (1 m) without heavy current. The manufacturer designed this model for a highly active presence in the water. The specimen is in 4/5 condition, showing well-preserved color and metal surfaces, though the vintage treble hook shows its age and could be swapped for modern use. The split ring connection remains firm at the tail, securing the hook to the broad, flared spoon base.
