Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster , 1oz Gold fishing spoon #12136

Tipping the scales at a substantial 1oz (28g), this classic metal slab is a testament to American lure engineering. This Gold specimen, measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) in length, features the iconic aerodynamic beveling that has made Acme's design a staple for targeting deep-water predators. Stamped clearly on the flank is the KASTMASTER name alongside the weight designation, a hallmark of the original US-made versions. Unlike many clones, the authentic 12136 model is crafted from a specific alloy that maintains balance during a vertical jig or a steady retrieval through strong currents. The polished metallic finish is preserved in excellent condition, rated 5/5, showing the high-quality plating Acme is known for. It comes rigged with a sturdy, silver-toned treble hook attached via a split ring, ready for heavy-duty freshwater or saltwater applications. The simple yet effective geometry allows it to be used effectively even in high-flow environments where lighter lures might lose their orientation.
