Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Dervish, 1/4oz Red / White / Nickel fishing spoon #5413

Stamped clearly into the nickel-plated reverse, the "DERVISH" name identifies this piece as a discontinued classic from the Acme Tackle Company. At a weight of 1/4 oz (7 g) and a length of 2" (5 cm), this American-made casting spoon is a compact favorite for mid-water presentations. The front face displays a two-tone white paint job finished with a red strike accent at the nose. Rated at 4/5, the specimen shows light, authentic wear on the painted surface while the metal reverse remains bright and reflective. The hardware consists of a sturdy split ring at the flared tail, securing a sharp treble hook ready for the water. Product code 5413 marks this as a legacy model from the era when Acme was refining its metal lure lineup in the USA. The slight curve of the body is designed for effectiveness during a steady retrieve in both still and moving water.
