Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster, 1oz Nickel/blue fishing spoon #16777

Stamped clearly into the metal face is the iconic "KASTMASTER ACME TACKLE CO" mark, identifying this as a genuine piece of American fishing history. Weighing 1 oz (28 g) and measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm), the lure features a distinctive aerodynamic wedge shape cut from a specific alloy to ensure precise balance. This specimen displays a dual-tone Nickel/blue finish, where a bright blue accent runs along the tapered top edge against the polished nickel body. The hardware includes a heavy-duty split ring and a sharp, silver treble hook at the tail, built for durability in both freshwater and saltwater environments. Rated 5/5, the surface is incredibly clean and reflects the high-quality production standards Acme maintained for their USA-made tackle. Because of its dense weight-to-size ratio, this Kastmaster is highly effective for long-distance casting or reaching predatory fish in deeper currents. Under product code 16777, this lure demonstrates the simple yet effective engineering that has made the brand a staple in tackle boxes for decades.
