Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster, 3/4oz nickel/blue fishing spoon #18239

A vibrant blue stripe runs along the edge of the nickel-plated finish on this 3/4 oz (21 g) slab-cut lure, identified by product code 18239. Sized at 2 1/2" (6.2 cm), the face is deeply stamped with "KASTMASTER ACME TACKLE CO.", a hallmark of these versatile USA-made spoons. The specific alloy used in its construction is key to the balance that produces its distinctive motion during both retrieval and the drop. This specimen is in unused condition, earning a 5/5 rating for its clean, reflective surfaces and sharp hardware. Outfitted with a durable split ring and a treble hook, it is engineered for various techniques, from vertical jigging in deep holes to casting across heavy currents. The precise proportions of the Acme design ensure it maintains its performance across different speeds and depths.
