Museum Archive: Acme Kastmaster , 1/4oz Nickel / Blue fishing spoon #5185

Nickel and Blue finishes cover the machined brass body of this 1/4 oz (7.0 g) Acme Kastmaster. Found in its original packaging, this unused specimen carries the manufacturer product code SW10/CHNB and remains in impeccable condition. Measuring 1 3/4 inches (4.5 cm) in length, the lure features a distinctive aerodynamic design that facilitates long-distance casting to reach schools of pan-sized gamefish or trout. The construction is solid brass, ensuring the metal won’t bend or corrode after repeated exposure to salt water. This particular model is fitted with a stainless steel split ring and a sharp treble hook, suitable for either vertical jigging or steady retrieval. The "Made in USA" branding on the card confirms its domestic manufacturing heritage, which is a key detail for those tracking the history of the Acme Tackle Company. The balance of the spoon is engineered to produce a specific motion during descent without inducing line twist, a technical characteristic that has made the series a staple in tackle boxes for decades.
