Museum Archive: Acme Kastmaster, 1/4oz Nickel / Blue fishing spoon #0954

The nickel finish on this Acme spoon is accented by a vibrant blue reflective tape insert, a classic combination for clear water visibility. Stamped clearly on the face with 'KASTMASTER ACME TACKLE CO', this particular model, identified by product code 0954, weighs in at 1/4 oz (7 g) and measures 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in length. This specimen is in condition 6, meaning it is unused and remains securely held within its original vintage retail packaging. Manufactured in the USA, the design utilizes a specific alloy balance intended for deep water applications and heavy current. The hardware includes a sturdy split ring and a bright treble hook tucked into the clear plastic blister. Its aerodynamic, slab-sided shape is a hallmark of the Acme brand's engineering for long-distance casting.
