Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster, 3/8oz nickel/orange fishing spoon #18236

Stamped clearly into the orange-painted metal surface, the 'KASTMASTER ACME TACKLE CO' lettering identifies this classic spoon as a genuine American-made piece. This 3/8oz (10.5g) specimen features a vibrant orange finish over its 2" (5.2cm) aerodynamic body, which displays an excellent 5/5 condition rating with only the lightest evidence of use along the edges. Cataloged under product code 18236, the nickel/orange color scheme suggests a durable plated base beneath the high-visibility paint. A sharp, bronze-finished treble hook remains attached via a robust split ring, paired with a precision-drilled hole at the head for secure rigging. The thick, angled-cut metal construction is specifically balanced for distance casting and performing when used in deep water or heavy currents. Each edge of the solid body remains well-defined, highlighting the classic machining that collectors appreciate in original Acme hardware.
