Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster, 3/4oz Nickel / purple fishing spoon #13325

Measuring 2 1/2" (6.2 cm), the distinct, beveled profile of this Acme Kastmaster is a masterclass in American lure design. This 3/4 oz (21 g) spoon, carrying product code 13325, showcases a dual-tone appearance with a deep purple face paired against a reflective nickel underside. Stamped directly into the metal body is the "Kastmaster Acme Tackle Co" hallmark, a sign of its authentic USA manufacturing. The specimen is in excellent 5/5 condition, retaining a high-gloss finish on both the colored and metallic surfaces. Designed with a specific alloy to ensure the correct balance, the proportions of this lure are intended to maintain a consistent performance during descent and retrieval. It comes rigged with a sharp, dark-finished treble hook and a strong split ring. The lure is weighted for long-distance casting into heavy wind or reaching fish holding in deep, fast-moving water columns.
