Vintage Acme Kastmaster, 1/4oz brass fishing spoon #20028

Brass tones dominate the finish of this vintage specimen, reflecting a warm, subdued glow that many collectors appreciate in older metal lures. At 1/4oz (7g), the Acme Kastmaster is famously weighted to cut through the air, reaching distances other spoons struggle to find. Stamped clearly on the face are the words 'KASTMASTER ACME TACKLE CO.', marking its origin as a genuine product of the USA. This specific lure, listed under product code 20028, measures 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) and maintains its structural integrity with a sturdy treble hook attached via a split ring. Unlike many modern imitations, the original Acme version utilizes a specific alloy balanced to provide its signature behavior during both the descent and retrieval phases. Looking at the surfaces, the finish shows some character consistent with its age, earning a solid 4/5 condition rating. It is a versatile choice for anglers who need to reach deep water or cast into heavy currents where a lighter lure might get swept away. The simple, aerodynamic shape is the result of careful machining designed to mimic the profile of a small baitfish.
