Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster, 3/8oz nickel/orange fishing spoon #19199

Vibrant orange paint along one side of the nickel-finished body provides a sharp visual contrast on this 3/8 oz (10.5 g) casting spoon. Stamped clearly on the reflective face is the iconic name, identifying this 2" (5.2 cm) specimen as a genuine USA-made Acme Kastmaster. Carrying the product code 19199, the metal displays a bright, clean surface and sharp edges, characteristic of its well-preserved 5/5 condition. The aerodynamic design is engineered for long-distance casting and effective deep-water jigging. Its solid brass-based construction is coupled with a sturdy split ring and a bronze-finish treble hook that remains in excellent shape. This specific nickel and orange color combination is often chosen by anglers for visibility in varying light conditions. The lure's balance is maintained through the precise geometric cut of the metal slab, ensuring it maintains its intended position during a steady retrieval.
