Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster, 1/2oz nickel fishing spoon #22413

Stamping on the side of the nickel-plated body clearly reads 'KASTMASTER ACME TACKLE CO,' identifying this as a genuine US-made original. Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g) and measuring 2 1/4" (5.7 cm), this lure remains a staple for anglers fishing in strong currents or deep water where casting distance is a priority. Product code 22413 identifies this specific size and finish, manufactured from the signature alloy Acme uses to ensure the balance is precisely right. Looking at the hardware, the sturdy split ring carries a treble hook that includes a distinctive brass sleeve around the shank. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, maintaining a clean, high-reflectivity surface across its entire slanted-cut profile. The aerodynamic design is suited for both jigging and deep-water casting techniques.
