Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster UV, 3/8oz Fire fishing spoon #12143

Embossed directly into the metal body, the Acme branding identifies this 2" (5.2cm) Kastmaster UV as a genuine piece of American tackle history. The "Fire" finish is a striking combination of a deep green top with distinct black dots that fades into a brilliant orange and yellow gradient along the sides. Under low-light conditions, this specific specimen, listed under product code 12143, reveals its ultraviolet capabilities by glowing with a vivid green radiance. Weighing 3/8oz (10.5g), the lure maintains the classic slanted-cut geometry that Acme has utilized for decades to ensure stability during deep-water retrieves or casting into heavy currents. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, appearing completely clean with its original factory paint intact and a bright, rust-free treble hook secured by a heavy-duty split ring. The manufacturing process involves a specific alloy that balances the metal's density with its reflective properties, a hallmark of the brand's production standards in the USA.
