Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kamlooper, 2/5oz Yellow / Red / Nickel / Gold fishing spoon #8242

Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in length, this Acme Kamlooper is a striking example of American tackle design. A vibrant yellow paint with distinct red dots coats the outer face, uniquely divided by a raised, wavy gold-finished section that runs the length of the body. Turning the lure over reveals the 'KAMLOOPER SPOON' name stamped clearly into the high-polished gold metal, a detail characteristic of the 8242 product code. Weighing 2/5 oz (11 g), the lure’s heavy-gauge construction is paired with a silver-tone treble hook and a sturdy split ring at the rear. The condition is a 5/5, showing that this specimen remains unused and well-preserved. A small, clean line-tie hole at the narrow end completes the traditional spoon profile intended for casting and trolling.
