Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster, 3/32oz Nickel fishing spoon #14538

Tipping the scales at a mere 3/32oz (2.5g), this diminutive lure represents the smallest end of the iconic aerodynamic wedge family produced in the USA. Measuring just 1 1/4" (3cm) in length, the Acme Kastmaster is defined by its distinct side-cut geometry, which was engineered to maintain balance in strong currents or when used as a vertical jig. The polished Nickel finish on this specimen remains bright, highlighting the crisp 'KASTMASTER ACME TACKLE CO.' stamping on the face. Equipped with stainless split rings and a sharp treble hook, the hardware on product code 14538 is optimized for finesse applications. Unlike common clones, the original Acme lures utilize a specific alloy that ensures a precise weight-to-volume ratio for maximum casting distance in a light profile. This particular specimen shows no visible signs of wear, warranting a condition rating of 5/5.
