Museum Archive: Acme Kastmaster, 1/8oz Gold fishing spoon #13662

Gold plating covers the solid brass body of this light tackle essential, which remains unused in its original packaging. Weighing in at 1/8 oz (3.5 g) and measuring 1 1/2" (3.5 cm), this specimen carries the product code 13662. The Acme manufacturing process involves machining these from solid brass, a technique that prevents the lure from bending or corroding in harsh environments. This specific gold-finished model features the classic aerodynamic shape that has made the brand a staple in tackle boxes since the mid-20th century. The carding highlights its American heritage, noting its origin in the USA. Its hardware includes a sharp treble hook attached via a robust split ring, suitable for casting or vertical jigging.
