Museum Archive: Acme Kastmaster, 3/32oz Nickel / Blue fishing spoon #14850

Nickel and blue color tones define the appearance of this small but mighty 1 1/4" (3cm) metal spoon. This Acme Kastmaster specimen, cataloged under product code 14850, is unused and remains housed in its original packaging from the Providence, RI era. At 3/32oz (2.5g), it belongs to the lighter end of the Kastmaster range, often favored for panfish or trout in situations requiring long-distance casting of light lures. The blue stripe on the chrome-like nickel body provides a sharp contrast, mimicking the flash of small baitfish. Looking at the construction, the thick-cut metal design is centered around the specific balance that only the original Acme alloy achieved, differentiating it from thinner stamped imitations. The packaging itself shows its history, mentioning the 69 Bucklin Street address and the company's other famous offerings like the Fiord Spoon. It comes equipped with a small treble hook attached by a split ring, maintaining the simplicity that has kept this design relevant for decades.
