Museum Archive: Acme Kastmaster, 1/8oz Nickel fishing spoon #17562

A polished nickel finish defines this 1/8 oz (3.5 g) Acme Kastmaster, documented under product code 17562. Stamped with the model designation SW-105, this 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) specimen demonstrates the precise machining and specific alloy balance that made Acme Tackle Company a household name in Providence, R.I. The lure is rigged with a sturdy treble hook and split ring, optimized for vertical jigging or long-distance casting. This specific piece is unused and remains housed in its original blister pack, complete with a vintage Payless price tag and the classic orange-and-black branding. The back of the card provides context for its lineage, mentioning other legendary Acme spoons like the Fiord and K.O. Wobbler.
