Museum Archive: Acme Kastmaster, 1/4oz fishing spoon #14853

Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), this specimen's aerodynamic wedge profile is synonymous with long-distance casting across both fresh and saltwater environments. This Acme Kastmaster is finished in a clean, polished silver and measures 1 3/4" (4.5 cm), an ideal size for targeting trout, bass, or smaller saltwater species. Under the model designation SW-10 and identified by Product Code 14853, this lure remains unused in its original vintage bubble packaging. The card reflects the brand's heritage from Providence, Rhode Island, featuring the classic 'Fantastic Acme' logo and orange fish graphic. Unlike later mass-produced versions, the stamp on the metal face is crisp, indicating the quality control of its era. On the back of the card, the Acme Tackle Company highlights its broader lineup, including the K.O. Wobbler and Fiord Spoon, all manufactured in the U.S.A.
