Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster, 1/4oz nickel/blue fishing spoon #18165

A striking nickel/blue dual-tone finish distinguishes this particular Acme Kastmaster, making it a standout in any tackle box. Cataloged under product code 18165, the 1 3/4" (4.5cm) solid metal body is precision-machined to ensure the specific balance required for the lure's signature behavior during both retrieval and the fall. The front face is clearly stamped with 'KASTMASTER ACME TACKLE CO.', a mark of its USA-made origin. At 1/4oz (7g), it provides enough heft for long casts while maintaining a profile that appeals to a wide variety of predatory species. The hardware is solid, featuring a robust split ring and a dark-finished treble hook. Rated at a condition of 5/5, the reflective surfaces remain bright and the paint transition between the nickel and blue is sharp. This specimen's aerodynamic shape is purpose-built for slicing through the air and water, whether you're fishing it as a jig or working it in deep currents.
