Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster UV, 3/32oz Nickel / Orange fishing spoon #13490

A vibrant fluorescent orange strip accents the side of this 1 1/4" (3 cm) spoon, set against a classic polished nickel body. Under ultraviolet light, that orange segment glows with remarkable intensity, a technical design by Acme intended to maintain visibility in stained water or low-light conditions. The KASTMASTER brand name is clearly stamped into the metal, marking its heritage as a genuine brass-alloy casting lure rather than a common imitation. This 3/32 oz (2.5 g) specimen is equipped with a black nickel treble hook secured by a robust split ring, suitable for ultra-light casting or vertical jigging. The weighted balance of the lure allows for long-distance casting even with its small profile, making it a staple for anglers targeting trout, perch, or panfish. It is presented in 5/5 condition, showing no wear on the painted or metallic surfaces. Identified by product code 13490, this lure bridges the gap between traditional spoon design and modern UV technology.
