Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl) , 3/16oz Nickel / Green fishing spoon #0791

Weighing 3/16 oz (5 g), this spoon displays a vibrant Nickel / Green finish split clean down the middle of its 2" (5 cm) body. This particular Seneca Lure piece predates the early 1980s Acme acquisition, making it a primary interest for collectors tracking the evolution of the brand. The "Hula Girl" designation comes from the dancer engraved on the reverse side, a detail many seasoned anglers insist was the secret to the lure's historical popularity before the design was simplified by subsequent manufacturers. The construction features a robust single hook attached via a sturdy split ring, both in high quality and supporting a condition rating of 5/5. Labeled with product code 0791, this USA-made trolling lure remains a crisp example of a design that became a cornerstone of mid-century fishing.
