Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster, 1/4oz black fishing spoon #22156

Measuring exactly 1 3/4 inches (4.5 cm) in length, this Acme Kastmaster presents a stealthy profile with its uniform black finish. Weighing 1/4 oz (7 g), the lure features a clear 'KASTMASTER ACME TACKLE CO.' stamp across the side, confirming its production heritage in the USA. This particular model, cataloged under Product Code 22156, is built from a specialized metal alloy that provides a specific balance during both the descent and the retrieve. The hardware is comprised of a split ring at the nose and a sharp treble hook at the rear, both showing minimal wear. With a condition rating of 4/5, the lure appears quite clean, preserving the integrity of the dark coating across the entire body. Its precision-cut edges are designed to provide stability when used as a jig or during a steady retrieve in high-current environments.
