Museum Archive: Acme Little Cleo, 1/8oz Red / White fishing spoon #2218

Weighing 1/8oz (3.5g), this classic metal spoon features the distinct hump-backed profile that has made the Acme Little Cleo a staple in tackle boxes for decades. The Red / White color pattern is presented here as a crisp white zig-zag stripe over a deep red base, a high-contrast combination favored for visibility in a variety of water conditions. This specimen, carrying product code 2218, is housed in its original factory blister pack and remains in unused condition, earning it a rating of 6. The hardware consists of a sharp treble hook and a split ring attached to the stamped metal body. Manufactured by the Acme Tackle Company in the USA, the lure's geometry is designed to produce a specific wobbling motion during a steady retrieve. The packaging remains intact, preserving the finish and the original technical information on the card.
