Bold black stripes contrast sharply against the polished gold finish of this classic spoon. Weighing in at 1/2oz (14g) and measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm), this specimen is a genuine Seneca Lure production from the era before the brand was acquired by Acme in the early 1980s. A hallmark of these early versions is the detailed hula girl dancer stamped onto the back side, a feature that collectors prioritize and many anglers believe is the secret to its historical success. The metal remains in 5/5 condition, preserving the clarity of the "Little Cleo" and "Wig-L-Lure" stampings. This specific lure, listed under product code 12269, features original hardware including a sturdy, bronzed treble hook attached by a robust split ring. The black paint on the convex side is well-applied, providing a strong visual break against the brassy glint of the base metal.
