Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster, 3/8oz nickel/green fishing spoon #18853

A vibrant fluorescent green stripe adorns the polished nickel surface of this classic Acme casting spoon. Weighing in at 3/8oz (10.5g) and measuring 2" (5.2cm), this specimen carries product code 18853 and exemplifies the precise engineering the brand established in the USA. The face is clearly stamped with "KASTMASTER ACME TACKLE CO," a vital detail for collectors tracking specific production eras. Its construction relies on a specialized alloy, chosen to ensure the lure maintains its intended balance during descent and retrieval regardless of water depth. The hardware includes a sturdy bronzed treble hook attached via a stainless split ring, while the nose features a clean-drilled hole for direct line attachment or a snap. This lure is rated 5/5, remaining unused with its factory finish and paint integrity fully intact.
