Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster, 1/2oz Nickel/Green fishing spoon #16772

Nickel-plated finish with a distinct green paint on the upper bevel makes this 1/2oz (14g) Acme Kastmaster stand out in any tackle box. Measuring 2 1/4 inches (5.7cm), the body bears the crisp "KASTMASTER ACME TACKLE CO" stamp on the metal surface. This American-made lure, identified by product code 16772, is constructed from a specialized alloy designed to maintain a precise balance during both casting and deep-water jigging. The hardware features a robust treble hook secured by a split ring, with a characteristic gold-toned sleeve covering the upper part of the hook shank. Visually, the specimen is in exceptional condition, appearing unused with no visible wear to the nickel or the green coating, reflecting a 5/5 rating. Its aerodynamic shape is a hallmark of the Acme design, intended for reaching distances from the shore or boat. The green accent adds a layer of contrast to the reflective nickel surface, a combination often utilized by anglers for targeting predatory species in various lighting conditions.
