Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 1/2oz White Pearl / Blue fishing spoon #0314

White Pearl and Blue shades blend smoothly across the face of this 1/2 oz (14 g) spoon lure. For collectors of authentic vintage tackle, the 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl) carries a specific piece of angling history on its reverse side. While modern versions by Acme dropped the iconic dancer stamp after the early 1980s acquisition, this Seneca-made specimen, identified by product code 0314, features that original engraved detail on the back. Many veteran anglers still swear that the presence of the hula dancer was the secret behind the lure's legendary success when casting or trolling. The hardware remains robust, featuring a clean treble hook attached via a sturdy split ring. Produced in the USA, the finish is exceptionally well-preserved, earning a condition rating of 5/5. The heavy-gauge metal construction used in this era provides a substantial feel compared to lighter modern alternatives.
