Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster, 1/4oz nickel fishing spoon #22685

Polished nickel plating covers the entirety of this 1/4oz (7g) metal spoon, creating a high-gloss finish that stands up well to both fresh and salt water. The face is deeply stamped with "KASTMASTER ACME TACKLE CO," a hallmark of quality for these American-made lures. At 1 3/4" (4.5cm) long, the heavy-gauge metal body is cut at a precise angle to ensure it maintains its balance during a variety of retrieval speeds. Attached via a robust split ring, the treble hook remains sharp and free of corrosion. This specimen, identified by product code 22685, is in 5/5 condition, showing a pristine surface without any of the typical hook rubs or dulling found on fished examples. Its aerodynamic shape is specifically engineered for maximum distance when casting from the shore or a boat.
