Vintage Acme Kastmaster, 1/8oz Gold fishing spoon #15622

Stamped clearly into the brass-colored body, the words "KASTMASTER ACME TACKLE CO." reveal the pedigree of this iconic spoon. Weighing in at a lightweight 1/8 oz (3.5 g), this diminutive lure measures exactly 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) in length. Its polished gold finish catches light across its distinct, angular profile, a design that has remained a staple for trout and panfish anglers for decades. The original Acme Kastmaster is forged from a specific alloy, ensuring the balance required for its vertical and horizontal presentations. Unlike modern knock-offs, the precise bevels on this specimen help maintain its stability in fast-moving water or when worked over deep structure. This particular item features a gold-plated treble hook attached via a sturdy split ring, both showing no signs of wear. Reaching a condition rating of 5, the surfaces remain bright and free of marks, appearing just as it would have when first leaving the Acme Tackle factory. Often utilized for distance casting or jigging, its aerodynamic shape cuts through the wind effectively. For collectors tracking specific production runs, this piece is identified by Product Code 15622.
