Weighing in at a substantial 2 3/4 oz (80g), this heavy-duty Acme Kastmaster features the classic nickel and blue color scheme used for targeting larger predators. Measuring 3 1/2" (9cm), the slab-sided metal body carries the iconic 'KASTMASTER' brand stamp directly into the polished nickel surface. This specific specimen, product code 17516, earns a 4/5 condition rating, showing some clear signs of its history in the water. You will notice some chipping and surface wear along the blue-painted side, though the underlying alloy remains robust. Made in the USA, the design relies on a specific weight-to-shape ratio that allows for impressive distance when casting into the wind or dropping into deep river channels. The heavy-gauge split rings are paired with a stout treble hook, which shows some light surface use while remaining sharp and functional.
