Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster, heavy oz Nickel fishing spoon #16400

Nickel plating provides a brilliant, mirror-like finish on this substantial specimen, which tips the scales at 115g (4.06 oz). Measuring 10cm (4") in length, this heavy-duty Acme Kastmaster features a distinct stamped engraving identifying it as an authentic product from the Acme Tackle Co. of the USA. This particular model, designated with product code 16400, is equipped with a large treble hook dressed in a vibrant yellow bucktail, secured with bright red thread for added visual contrast. The thick, aerodynamic slab design is precision-cut from a special alloy to maintain the specific balance required for casting long distances or reaching deeper water columns. In its current 5/5 condition, the metal surface is exceptionally bright and shows no signs of previous use. A sturdy split ring at the head facilitates a secure line connection, while another links the dressed treble hook.
