Museum Archive: Acme Kamlooper UV, 2/5oz fishing spoon #10664

Tipping the scales at 2/5 oz (11g), the spoon’s teardrop body is finished in a bright fluorescent orange that sandwiches a polished metallic wave. Measuring exactly 1 3/4" (4.5cm) in length, this specimen is the Kamlooper UV model, carrying the product code 10664. It is an unused item preserved in its original American-made packaging, a testament to the quality associated with the Acme Tackle Company's Providence, Rhode Island history. The hardware includes a robust split ring and a sharp treble hook, typical for casting or trolling setups targeting trout and salmon. In the UV version, the orange paint is formulated to react to specific light wavelengths, making the profile stand out when fished deeper in the water column. The black and red carding remains crisp, identifying the piece as the S-470/NF variant as shown in the vintage packaging.
