Museum Archive: Acme Kastmaster , 1/8oz Golden Tiger fishing spoon #5444

Weighing in at a precise 1/8 oz (3.5 g), this vintage casting spoon showcases the classic Golden Tiger finish, characterized by its reflective gold surface and dark, tiger-stripe accents. This specimen, identified by product code 5444, measures 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) and remains in its original retail packaging, appearing completely unused. The lure body features the signature SW-105 stamp, a mark of the machined brass construction that Acme utilized to prevent corrosion and maintain balance during both vertical jigging and horizontal retrieves. Mounted at the rear is a sharp treble hook, while the package includes a factory-provided snap for easy rigging. Produced in the USA, the cardboard backing carries the legacy of the Hard & Soft Fishing company based in Fort Atkinson, WI. The clear blister pack also notes its weight in grams, catering to the international market where these spoons gained a reputation for their distinctive aerodynamic shape.
