Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 3/4oz Red / Brown / White / Nickel fishing spoon #10778

Weighing 3/4 oz (21 g), this heavy-duty casting spoon showcases the classic Red/Brown/White/Nickel splatter pattern that has made the Seneca brand a staple in tackle boxes for decades. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm), the Little Cleo (Hula Girl) specimen carries Product Code 10778 and represents the era before Seneca was acquired by Acme in the early 1980s. Anglers often look for the stamped dancer on the backside, a feature missing from modern iterations but present on this vintage piece. Under a blacklight, the red splatter elements reveal a vibrant glow, adding a layer of visibility for deeper presentations. The hardware remains original, featuring a clean treble hook and split ring assembly. Maintaining a condition rating of 5/5, the finish is crisp and the nickel base provides a high-contrast reflective surface against the dark brown spine and red accents.
