Museum Archive: Acme Kastmaster, 3/32oz nickel/orange fishing spoon #18947

Fluorescent orange paint covers the face of this metal spoon, providing a high-visibility contrast against the silver-toned nickel hardware. Identified by product code 18947, the lure measures approximately 1 inch (2.54 cm) and is preserved in unused condition within its original factory packaging. At a weight of 3/32 oz (2.5 g), the Acme Kastmaster is built from a specialized alloy designed to maintain a specific balance during casting and trolling. The hardware consists of a treble hook secured by a split ring at the trailing edge, with an additional split ring at the line tie. Turning the vintage blister pack over, the text emphasizes its versatility in both fresh and salt water, noting its reputation for record catches. While the cardboard backing has darkened over time, the lure itself remains clean and reflects the quality of mid-century American tackle production.
