Museum Archive: Acme Kastmaster, 1/8oz Trout fishing spoon #4360

Weighing exactly 1/8 oz (3.5 g), this light-tackle staple features the distinctive Trout finish with a bright pink belly and a blue back punctuated by black dots. This specific specimen, bearing product code SW105/RT, measures 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) and is machined from the solid brass that Acme utilized to prevent corrosion during repeated exposure to saltwater. The lure is unused, preserved in its original blister pack which notes its origin in the USA. Collectors will recognize the balance inherent in this brass construction, a material choice by Acme to ensure the metal won't bend or break under pressure. Designed for versatility, it serves as a tool for casting and trolling, as well as vertical jigging for pan-sized gamefish. The hardware remains in place, featuring the original treble hook and split ring assembly characteristic of these vintage factory-sealed units.
