Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster, 3/8oz gold fishing spoon #18158

Stamped directly into the brass-toned metal is the hallmark "Kastmaster Acme Tackle Co." branding, identifying this 3/8 oz (10.5 g) classic from the USA. Measuring exactly 2" (5.2 cm) in length, this gold specimen carries product code 18158 and arrives in superb 5/5 condition. A notable feature of this particular setup is the single hook rigged with a glittery, amber-colored curly tail grub, which adds a soft-plastic element to the traditional metal slab construction. The aerodynamic shape is precision-balanced to maintain its intended orientation whether casting from shore or jigging over structure. Because Acme utilized a specific alloy for these lures, the density is matched to the slab's proportions, allowing for long-distance casting. The polished gold finish remains bright and free of marks, reflecting light effectively under the surface. Both split rings appear tight and secure, showing no signs of fatigue.
