Museum Archive: Acme Kastmaster , 1/8oz Fluorescent Red fishing spoon #5443

Weighing in at a precise 1/8 oz (3.5 g), this Fluorescent Red specimen is a classic example of the machining excellence found in the Acme lineup. Measured at 1 1/2" (3.5 cm), the lure is identified by product code 5443 and carries the distinct SW-105 designation on its original carding. This specific piece remains unused, earning it a condition rating of 6. The vibrant neon finish is designed for high visibility, featuring fluorescent properties that react under UV light to catch the eye of predators in low-light conditions. Crafted from a solid brass alloy in the USA, the body is engineered to resist corrosion even after repeated exposure to salt water. The hardware includes a sharp treble hook attached via a sturdy split ring, optimized for techniques like casting or vertical jigging. Balance in the slab-sided design allows for distance casting without significant line twist. Original Acme Tackle Company branding from Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, is visible on the backing, along with the crisp stamping on the metal face.
