Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster, 1/4oz Nickel / Blue fishing spoon #15455

Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in length, the distinctive slab-sided profile of this specimen is a hallmark of American tackle design. A vibrant blue strip runs along one edge of the polished nickel finish, providing a high-contrast visual against the reflective metal. Stamped clearly with the "KASTMASTER" branding, this 1/4 oz (7 g) lure represents Acme's commitment to precision, utilizing a specific alloy to ensure the intended balance is maintained. The hardware remains in top shape, consisting of a clean split ring and a sharp treble hook. Identified by product code 15455, the lure's angled surfaces are designed to catch and reflect light during both casting and jigging. This particular item is in superb condition, earning a 5/5 rating for its bright finish and lack of physical wear. The specific proportions of the 1/4 oz (7 g) weight allow it to be used effectively in strong currents or deep water, maintaining its intended balance during descent and retrieval.
