Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kamlooper, 2/5oz Red / White / Nickel fishing spoon #8644

Red, white, and polished nickel finishes define the classic aesthetic of this Acme Kamlooper spoon. Weighing in at 2/5oz (11g), the lure features a heavy-gauge metal body that provides the necessary density for long-distance casting or deep-water trolling. The 1 3/4" (4.5cm) teardrop-shaped profile is accented by a striking zigzag pattern of enamel over the bright nickel plating. This specific specimen, identified by product code 8644, is a prime example of American craftsmanship from the Acme tackle line. The hardware consists of a robust treble hook attached via a sturdy split ring, maintaining the integrity of the original vintage design. Anglers and collectors will find the condition of this piece to be 5/5, as the reflective surfaces and painted sections remain crisp and vibrant. The attachment hole at the head is cleanly punched, allowing for a secure connection during use.
