Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster, 3/8oz copper fishing spoon #18920

Copper surfaces often provide the right amount of flash in stained water, and this 3/8oz (10.5g) Acme Kastmaster specimen is no exception. Measuring 2" (5.2cm) in length, the lure bears the classic "KASTMASTER ACME TACKLE CO." stamp on its side. This specific piece, cataloged under product code 18920, was manufactured in the USA using a specific metal alloy designed for long-distance casting and balance. The hardware consists of a robust split ring and a treble hook, showing a condition of 4/5 with minor surface wear that indicates it has been handled but remains ready for use. Its weight and angled-cut design are primary factors in how it behaves when retrieved at various speeds or allowed to fall through the water column.
