Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster, 1/4oz Nickel / Red fishing spoon #15866

Stamping the "KASTMASTER" name into the nickel-plated body highlights the heritage of this 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) spoon. The 1/4 oz (7 g) weight makes it a staple for light-action anglers. This specific specimen features a bold red stripe along one edge, contrasting sharply with the polished nickel finish. Produced by Acme in the USA, the lure utilizes a proprietary alloy to maintain the balance required for its signature movement during both descent and retrieval. The hardware, consisting of a split ring and treble hook, is securely attached and remains in 5/5 condition. As an unused piece, the metal retains its original luster. Its design allows it to be fished effectively in deep water, strong currents, or as a jig for various predatory species. The proportions of this product code 15866 lure are carefully calibrated to ensure stability in the water column.
