Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster, 3/8oz gold fishing spoon #22230

Stamped clearly into the face of this 2" (5.2cm) metal slab is the iconic "KASTMASTER ACME TACKLE CO." branding, a hallmark of American craftsmanship from the Acme Tackle Company. Weighing in at 3/8oz (10.5g), this gold-finished specimen remains in 5/5 condition, showing no signs of use. The genuine Kastmaster is distinguished by its specific brass-alloy construction, which provides the necessary density for long-distance casting and effective vertical jigging in deep water. Identified by product code 22230, the lure's distinct tapered profile is balanced to maintain its presentation whether retrieved against heavy currents or trolled behind a boat. The hardware consists of a robust split ring and a sharp, bronzed treble hook, typical of the reliable components used in USA-made vintage tackle. This particular lure's polished surface provides high visibility during the descent, making it a versatile tool for various predatory species in both fresh and saltwater environments.
