Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster, 1/2oz Nickel / Rainbow Trout fishing spoon #13273

Weighing in at 1/2oz (14g), this Acme Kastmaster features a distinctive Rainbow Trout pattern laid over a polished nickel base. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.7cm), the lure’s aerodynamic shape is stamped clearly with "KASTMASTER ACME TACKLE CO." on the face. This specific specimen, bearing product code 13273, showcases a vibrant color transition from a soft blue to a bright pink, accented by five crisp black dots that mimic a trout’s natural markings. The back of the spoon remains a clean, unpainted nickel, providing a high-flash contrast during use. As a genuine USA-made piece, the lure is constructed from a special alloy intended to maintain precise balance regardless of retrieval speed. Hardware includes a sturdy split ring and a sharp treble hook, all appearing in 5/5 condition. The finish remains smooth across the entire surface of the metal body.
