Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster , 1/8oz Frog / Nickel fishing spoon #8090

Frog-patterned splatters in green and yellow with distinct black dots decorate the top face of this classic metal lure, creating a high-contrast finish against its polished nickel underside. Weighing in at a nimble 1/8 oz (3.5 g) and measuring 1 1/2" (3.5 cm), this specific specimen, cataloged under product code 8090, is a prime example of the American-made versatility Acme is known for. The heavy-duty split rings securely anchor a sharp treble hook, prepared for everything from vertical jigging to casting into strong currents or deep water. Its construction relies on a specific alloy balance that differentiates the original manufacturer's output from common imitations, ensuring the weight distribution performs as intended during both the descent and retrieval. This particular spoon remains in 5/5 condition, showing the vibrant factory paint and bright nickel shine expected from a well-preserved piece of tackle.
