Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster, 1/4oz nickel fishing spoon #21976

Nickel plating gleams across the surface of this 1 3/4" (4.5cm) spoon, a hallmark of the classic Acme Tackle Co. design. Carrying product code 21976, the body is clearly stamped with the manufacturer's name, confirming its authentic USA heritage. A weight of 1/4oz (7g) makes it a versatile choice for anglers targeting various predatory species in both still and moving water. The rear treble hook is outfitted with a clean white bucktail dressing, whipped with red thread that provides a visual focal point against the silver-toned metal. This specimen is in excellent shape, earning a condition rating of 5/5. The specific alloy construction used by Acme is intended to maintain balance during both the descent and retrieval phases. Casting this dense metal lure provides significant distance even in breezy conditions, while its design allows it to be worked effectively as a jig in deeper sections of the water column.
