Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster, 1/4oz gold fishing spoon #22850

Gold plating covers the sleek, aerodynamic profile of this 1/4oz (7g) classic, a weight that offers excellent casting distance for shoreline anglers. The body measures exactly 1 3/4" (4.5cm) in length and features the iconic "KASTMASTER ACME TACKLE CO." stamp pressed deeply into the metal. Originating from the USA, this specimen carries the product code 22850 and maintains a crisp 5/5 condition. The hardware consists of a sturdy split ring attached to a sharp treble hook at the trailing edge. A clean-cut hole at the nose is ready for a snap or direct line tie. Unlike many stamped spoons, the Kastmaster is machined from solid brass, which prevents the metal from corroding. The heavy, slanted-cut design provides a unique balance that remains stable during various retrieval speeds or when presented as a vertical jig.
