Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 3/16oz Nickel / Blue fishing spoon #0776

Nickel and Blue coloring defines the striking appearance of this 2" (5 cm) Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl) spoon. Weighing 3/16 oz (5 g), this specific specimen features the iconic dancer stamped onto the concave side, a hallmark of the original Seneca Lure company production before the brand's acquisition by Acme in the early 1980s. Many veteran anglers maintain that it was this specific "Hula Girl" image that contributed to the lure's massive success and legendary status. The lure is in excellent condition, rated 5/5, with the stamped details and the vibrant blue finish remaining remarkably sharp. Identified by product code 0776, this USA-made spoon comes equipped with a large single hook attached via a split ring, a configuration favored for both casting and trolling. The silver-toned backside clearly displays the vintage branding and the graceful dancer figure that is no longer found on modern versions.
