Vintage Acme Kastmaster, 1/8oz Brass fishing spoon #16842

Stamping into the metal on one side is the classic "KASTMASTER ACME TACKLE CO." mark, identifying this piece as a genuine product of the USA-based manufacturer. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.5cm) in length and weighing in at 1/8oz (3.5g), this solid brass spoon represents a design that remains a staple in tackle boxes for its casting efficiency. The Acme Kastmaster, product code 16842, is machined from a specific metal alloy that gives it a distinct density for its size. This particular specimen displays a deep, authentic brass finish across its aerodynamic, slab-sided body. The hardware is comprised of a line-tie split ring and a rear split ring carrying a sharp treble hook. Rated as a 5/5 in condition, the lure shows only light surface marks from handling, with the metal remaining bright and the stampings sharp. This size is specifically suited for light-tackle situations, whether casting for trout in moving water or vertically jigging for panfish. The balanced weight-to-length ratio allows it to sink quickly through the water column to reach fish holding in deeper structures.
