Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster UV, 1/2oz Nickel / Green fishing spoon #13880

Stamped clearly into the nickel-plated surface is the ACME TACKLE CO. mark, identifying this as a genuine USA-made Kastmaster UV. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.7 cm) and weighing 1/2 oz (14 g), this spoon is machined from a specialized alloy designed to maintain a specific balance during both vertical jigging and horizontal retrieves. The finish features a vibrant green strip that is UV-reactive and glows in the dark, providing a visible contrast against the polished metal in deep or low-light conditions. Cataloged under product code 13880, this specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing a bright, clean surface across the metal and painted glow section. It comes rigged with a silver treble hook attached via a robust split ring, and the nose is finished with a precision-drilled hole for the line tie.
