Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster , 1/4oz gold fishing spoon #22979

Stamped directly into the gold finish, the Acme Tackle Co. and Kastmaster markings confirm the heritage of this 1/4oz (7g) lure. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm), the spoon is crafted from a specific alloy that ensures the precise balance required for stability in strong currents or when jigging in deeper water. This vintage piece, identified by product code 22979, shows a clean surface and sharp edges, reflecting a well-maintained 4/5 condition. The unique aerodynamic shape of the Kastmaster allows for significant casting distances, making it a reliable tool for reaching distant schooling fish. Secured at the rear is a sharp gold-tone treble hook, which complements the overall aesthetic of the metal body. The side profile shows the characteristic thick, angled cut that defines the Acme design and influences how the lure interacts with water.
