Bright yellow paint with distinct red spots covers the convex side of this classic casting spoon. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in length and weighing a substantial 2/3oz (18g), this lure is built for distance when casting into deeper water. Turning the metal body over reveals the embossed 'HULA GIRL' dancer, a signature visual detail of the original Seneca Lure company production before the brand was acquired by Acme in the early 1980s. While modern versions of the Little Cleo have moved away from including this graphic, many seasoned anglers believe the dancer was a key part of the lure's historical success. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 0843, is in 4/5 condition, showing a well-maintained finish and sturdy hardware. It features original split rings and a sharp treble hook, hallmarks of the quality craftsmanship associated with its USA origin.
