Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Fiord Spoon , 1/2oz Nickel fishing spoon #14178

Nickel plating covers the entire surface of this 1/2 oz (14 g) classic, providing a high-visibility flash suitable for deep-water jigging or long-distance casting. This specific Fiord Spoon, measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) in length, represents a discontinued chapter in Acme's history of USA-made metal lures. The back of the lure features a crisp, centered "FIORD SPOON" stamp along the elongated, slender body. Collectors will notice the distinctive red-coated treble hook attached via a sturdy split ring at the tail, a color choice often used to target passive predators. Labeled with product code 14178, the specimen is in 5/5 condition and remains unused. The streamlined profile is purpose-built for cutting through the air during heavy-duty casting sessions where reaching distant structure is necessary. A single, clean-drilled eyelet at the head allows for secure attachment of snaps or heavy leaders.
