Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster, 3/32oz copper fishing spoon #18307

A warm copper finish defines this classic Acme Kastmaster, a staple in many tackle boxes for its versatile design. Weighing in at 3/32 oz (2.5 g) and measuring 1 1/4" (3 cm) in length, this specimen is sized for targeting a variety of predatory fish. The hardware includes a strong split ring and a sharp treble hook, both showing a high level of preservation that justifies a 5/5 condition rating. Stamped directly onto the metal face is the "Kastmaster Acme Tackle Co." branding, identifying its production by the American company. This specific model, identified by product code 18307, relies on a specific alloy and precise proportions to achieve balance during both descent and retrieval. Its aerodynamic shape is particularly well-suited for casting into strong currents or jigging in deep water where maintaining depth is essential.
