Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster , 1/8oz Fire Tiger fishing spoon #0882

Fire Tiger paint on this 1/8 oz (3.5 g) metal spoon provides high visibility in various water conditions. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) in length, this Acme Kastmaster, listed under product code 0882, is a classic example of American-made tackle from the USA. The front face is stamped with the manufacturer's name and features a vibrant green-to-orange gradient with distinct black vertical stripes, while the back side maintains a clean, polished brass finish. A specific alloy was used in its construction to provide a precise balance during both descent and retrieval. The hardware includes a silver-toned treble hook secured by a split ring, with a matching split ring at the head for easy line attachment. Condition for this particular lure is rated at 5/5, showing the integrity of the original paint and the clarity of the metal stampings. Anglers often reach for this weight class when they need a versatile tool for deep-water jigging or casting into strong currents where lighter lures might struggle.
