Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster, 1/4oz Nickel / Orange fishing spoon #14320

Weighing in at 1/4oz (7g), this classic USA-made spoon features the distinct slab-cut geometry that made the Acme Kastmaster a staple in tackle boxes for decades. A bold orange painted stripe runs along the beveled edge of the nickel body, offering a striking contrast to the high-polish silver finish. At 1 3/4" (4.5cm) long, this lure carries the Product Code 14320 and is manufactured from a specific dense alloy that gives it the necessary weight for distance casting and reaching deeper holding positions. The surface displays the crisp "KASTMASTER" stamp, and the hardware consists of a sharp treble hook attached by a stainless split ring. Looking at this specimen, the condition is a solid 5/5, with the plating maintaining a mirror-like quality and the orange accent remaining vivid and intact. Its solid metal construction allows it to perform effectively when used as a vertical jig or worked through heavy current.
