Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster, 1/4oz fishing spoon #17205

Stamped clearly into the metal face, the 'KASTMASTER' and 'ACME TACKLE CO.' markings identify this classic spoon. This 1/4 oz (7 g) specimen features a striking chrome finish complemented by a vivid blue flash along one of its beveled edges. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm), the lure showcases the precise, angular cuts that Acme is famous for, ensuring the balance is exactly as intended for a lure made in the USA. The proportions of this lure are designed to match a special alloy that ensures the correct balance and provides a unique action both during descent and retrieval. The surface remains remarkably clean, earning a 5/5 condition rating for its well-preserved luster and sharp hardware. A dark-finished treble hook is securely attached by a strong split ring at the tail, while the head features a clean line-tie hole. Often utilized for casting, vertical jigging, or fishing in strong currents, the design delivers results for both novice and experienced anglers. This specific item carries the product code 17205.
