Vintage Acme Kastmaster, 1/4oz Gold fishing spoon #17899

Stamped clearly on the side is the iconic 'KASTMASTER ACME TACKLE CO.' branding, a hallmark of American tackle manufacturing that collectors always appreciate. This specific gold-finished spoon carries the product code 17899 and measures a versatile 1 3/4" (4.5 cm). Weighing in at 1/4oz (7 g), the lure is crafted from the specialized alloy Acme is known for, which ensures the specific density required for its intended balance. The gold plating retains a beautiful luster, showing only light surface marks near the attachment points that reflect its history, resulting in a 4/5 condition rating. Its aerodynamic, slab-sided design is a testament to the engineering meant for long-distance casting and deep-water work. The hardware consists of a robust split ring and a sharp treble hook, typical of the high-quality components found on these USA-made originals. A small attachment hole at the lead end is precisely drilled to maintain the integrity of the lure's shape during retrieval.
