Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster, 1/8oz nickel fishing spoon #22036

Nickel plating provides a bright, reflective surface on this 1 1/2" (3.5cm) spoon, ensuring it remains visible across different light conditions. Stamped into the side is the "KASTMASTER ACME TACKLE CO." mark, identifying it as an authentic USA-made product. With a weight of 1/8oz (3.5g), the lure is manufactured from a specific alloy that provides a calculated balance intended to facilitate a distinct motion during both descent and retrieval. This model, identified by product code 22036, features the classic tapered design known for stability in strong currents and deeper water columns. The hardware consists of a treble hook secured by a split ring, showing the original factory assembly. Its condition is rated a 5/5, with the metal surface maintaining its smooth, mirror-like quality.
