Museum Archive: Acme Kastmaster , 1/4oz Nickel / Green fishing spoon #12049

Weighing in at 1/4oz (7g), this aerodynamic spoon is a staple for those who need to reach distant structures with accuracy. This Acme Kastmaster, identified by product code 12049 and specifically marked SW10/CHNG on the card, showcases a clean Nickel/Green color scheme where the reflective silver transitions into a vibrant green finish. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm) in length, the lure is stamped clearly with 'KASTMASTER ACME TACKLE CO' on its solid brass body, reflecting its American manufacturing heritage from Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin. The specimen remains in its original retail packaging and is completely unused, earning a condition rating of 6. The design utilizes a special alloy that ensures correct balance, a technical feature Acme developed to provide a unique action during both descent and retrieval. This construction allows it to be used effectively as a jig, in strong currents, or for deep-water fishing. The hardware consists of a sturdy split ring and a sharp treble hook, designed to maintain its luster even after exposure to salt water.
