Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Kastmaster UV, 3/8oz Nickel / Green fishing spoon #16279

A vibrant UV-reactive green coating on one side of this 2" (5.2cm) slab contrasts sharply with the classic nickel finish on the other. This Acme Kastmaster UV, carrying product code 16279, is a 3/8oz (10.5g) USA-manufactured lure that remains a staple for targeting predatory species. The metal body features a deep stamping of the manufacturer name, and the hardware includes a sturdy split ring attached to a sharp treble hook. While the polished nickel side provides flash, the lime-green side is engineered to fluoresce, significantly increasing visibility in deep water or during low-light conditions. Constructed from a specific alloy, the lure is designed to maintain balance during both descent and retrieval, making it useful for long-distance casting or vertical jigging applications. This specimen is in excellent condition, rated at a 5/5, showing bright surfaces and well-preserved hardware across its heavy metal profile.
