Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster , 1/4oz Trout / Nickel fishing spoon #9340

Nickel backing provides a high-flash foundation for the Trout color pattern on this 1/4 oz (7 g) spoon. Produced in the USA under product code 9340, the original Acme design relies on a specific metal alloy that ensures the balance stays true during retrieval or descent. The Trout pattern itself displays vibrant pink and blue gradients along the top edge, punctuated by a series of clean black spots that mimic a small baitfish. Measuring 1 3/4 inches (4.5 cm) in length, this specimen is a versatile choice for those targeting predatory fish in deep water or strong currents where a dense, aerodynamic profile is needed. Looking at its surface, the paint and metal finish remain in top-tier shape, earning it a 5/5 rating. The hardware is completed with a sturdy treble hook attached via heavy-duty split rings at both ends.
