Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster UV, 3/8oz Nickel / Green fishing spoon #15901

A weight of 3/8oz (10.5g) provides this specimen with significant casting range despite its compact 2" (5.2cm) length. The distinct slanted-cut body is stamped with 'KASTMASTER ACME TACKLE CO,' confirming its heritage and manufacture in the USA. On one side, the nickel plating is complemented by a bold green stripe that glows intensely under ultraviolet light, a feature designed for visibility in deeper water columns. This UV-reactive finish is shown in the secondary image, highlighting its utility for low-light conditions. Secured by a robust split ring, the original dark-finished treble hook remains sharp and well-preserved. With a condition rating of 5/5, the lure shows clean, mirror-like surfaces across the metal. This specific lure, cataloged under product code 15901, utilizes a specialized metal alloy intended to provide a unique balance during both the descent and retrieval phases.
