Stamped deeply into the metal face, the 'KASTMASTER ACME TACKLE CO' branding confirms this lure's origin from the legendary USA-based manufacturer. Weighing 3/8 oz (10.5 g) with a length of 2" (5.2 cm), this specimen features a high-luster chrome finish that has been remarkably well-preserved. The characteristic aerodynamic shape, achieved through precise diagonal cuts of a solid metal bar, is the defining feature of the 18765 model. A bronze-toned treble hook is attached via a sturdy split ring, both appearing in excellent shape consistent with a 5/5 condition rating. Because of its density, this lure is often a top choice for reaching deeper water columns where lighter spoons struggle to stay down. The polished surfaces reflect light brilliantly, making it a staple for anglers working across various water clarities.
