Museum Archive: Acme Kastmaster , 1/8oz Nickel fishing spoon #9689

Weighing in at 1/8 oz (3.5 g), this compact Acme Kastmaster is a prime example of the precision-machined brass lures that have become a staple in light-tackle boxes. The nickel finish provides a classic reflective surface intended to mimic the flash of small forage. This specific specimen, bearing product code SW105/CH (cataloged as 9689), measures exactly 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) and remains in its original retail packaging. Finding an unused example in this condition is a treat for collectors who appreciate the historical significance of Acme Tackle’s "Made in USA" era. The lure features a single treble hook attached via a sturdy split ring, alongside a small snap connector for quick rigging. Its characteristic aerodynamic wedge shape is the result of careful balancing with a specific alloy, ensuring the weight distribution remains consistent for casting or vertical jigging. This Kastmaster is unused and remains in excellent condition within its original bubble pack.
