Yellow with prominent red circular dots, this specimen represents the classic Seneca era of production. Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), the spoon measures 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and carries the product code 0295. Anglers often look for the stamped dancer on the reverse side, a hallmark of the original "Hula Girl" design that predates the Acme acquisition in the early 1980s. The bright finish is paired with a sturdy, single-barbed hook attached by a robust split ring, suited for casting and retrieval. This specific piece is in excellent 5/5 condition, showing the vibrant paint quality typical of the Seneca Lure company’s American manufacturing. Many seasoned fishermen believe the distinct Hula Girl silhouette on the back of these vintage Seneca-made Cleos provided a unique visual trigger missing from contemporary versions.
This specific lure has found its new home. However, we have selected some excellent alternatives for you below.
