Museum Archive: Acme Kastmaster, 1/4oz Gold fishing spoon #13663

Tipping the scales at exactly 1/4 oz (7 g), this classic lure feels substantial for its compact 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) frame. This specific specimen remains unused in its original packaging, preserving the brilliant gold finish and sharp treble hardware. Acme Tackle Company out of the USA crafted this Kastmaster—cataloged under product code 13663—from a solid brass alloy that resists corrosion, a necessity for those who venture into brackish or salt water. The stamped lettering KASTMASTER and ACME is clearly visible on the face of the spoon, a hallmark of authenticity that separates it from modern imitators. On the back of the card, it is identified as model SW10/G, featuring the signature aerodynamic slanted-cut design. With a condition rating of 6, the lure is unused and exhibits the pristine reflective surface typical of a well-preserved vintage piece.
