Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster, 1/8oz nickel fishing spoon #22604

Nickel plating provides a mirror-like finish on this iconic slab-cut spoon, ensuring high visibility in various water conditions. Stamped clearly into the metal, the KASTMASTER ACME TACKLE CO. mark identifies this 1 1/2" (3.5cm) lure as an original piece from the USA. Weighing in at 1/8oz (3.5g), this specimen features the classic aerodynamic shape that has made it a staple for everything from trout to panfish. The polished surface is remarkably clean, earning a condition rating of 5/5. Look closely at the split ring; it is securely fastened to a sharp treble hook, designed for casting or vertical jigging. Unlike mass-produced imitations, the specific alloy used here by Acme ensures the balance is exactly where it needs to be. For collectors tracking specific inventory, this piece carries product code 22604. Its versatile design allows for successful use in strong currents or deep water, maintaining its distinctive presence throughout the retrieve.
