Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster, 1/8oz Frog fishing spoon #17487

Speckled with dark green and black spots over a vibrant yellow base, this specimen showcases the classic Frog pattern. Weighing in at 1/8 oz (3.5 g) and measuring 1 1/2" (3.5 cm), this Acme Kastmaster is a quintessential example of American-made tackle under product code 17487. The front side features a painted yellow face intended to mimic aquatic prey, while the back remains a high-shine silver finish to provide flash during retrieval. Its construction consists of a solid, machined brass body with the precise aerodynamic wedge shape synonymous with the Acme brand. This particular lure is in clean condition, maintaining a solid 5/5 rating. The hardware is well-preserved, featuring sturdy split rings at both ends and a sharp treble hook attached at the rear. Collectors will note the crisp color application and the lack of surface wear on the painted side.
