Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo, 1/4oz Trout / Nickel fishing spoon #7937

A weight of 1/4 oz (7g) provides the necessary density for this spoon to reach target depths quickly when casting. The Trout color scheme is rendered in a three-stage fade from white to blue to pink, accented by a series of black dots across the wider section of the body. Stamped into the polished nickel reverse, the text "Little Cleo Wigl-Lure A Seneca Lure" confirms this item, listed under product code 7937, was manufactured by the Seneca company in the USA prior to its early 1980s acquisition by Acme. Measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm) in length, the spoon features a clean-stamped line tie and a rear-mounted treble hook. With a condition rating of 5/5, the lure shows very little sign of age, maintaining the clarity of its painted trout pattern and the luster of its metal finish. The split ring hardware remains tight and functional for immediate use or display.
