Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster, 1/2oz Nickel fishing spoon #14245

Stamping "KASTMASTER ACME TACKLE CO." clearly into the bright Nickel plating identifies this 1/2 oz (14 g) spoon as an original piece manufactured by Acme in the USA. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.7 cm) in length, this specimen (Product Code 14245) is equipped with a factory-dressed treble hook featuring white bucktail hair bound by a clean red thread wrap. The lure is in 5/5 condition, retaining its crisp lines and reflective surface without signs of wear. Its construction relies on a specific metal alloy and precise proportions intended to maintain balance during both the descent and retrieval phases. This design is engineered to perform when utilized for jigging, fishing in heavy currents, or reaching deeper water columns where predators often hold. A sturdy split ring connects the hardware, and the top tie-hole is cleanly drilled for a secure connection to your line.
