Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo, 1/4oz Nickel fishing spoon #3649

Stamped deeply into the back of the polished metal are the words “LITTLE CLEO WIGL-LURE A SENECA LURE,” identifying this specimen as a piece produced before Acme acquired Seneca in the early 1980s. Measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm) and weighing 1/4 oz (7 g), this Nickel-finished spoon features the classic broad teardrop profile designed specifically for casting. One side of the front face is covered with a holographic prismatic tape displaying a geometric triangle pattern for enhanced light reflection. This USA-made lure, assigned product code 3649, remains in excellent condition with a 5/5 rating, appearing unused. The hardware consists of a sharp, silver-finished treble hook attached via a robust split ring at the base of the spoon.
