At a weight of 1/2oz (14g), this classic spoon provides the necessary heft for long-distance casting into deeper waters. The vibrant Fire Tiger finish is applied over a 2 1/4" (5.5cm) body, featuring bright greens and oranges punctuated by dark vertical barring. Flipping the spoon reveals the characteristic 'Hula Girl' dancer stamped into the brass back, a signature of the Seneca Lure Company era before the brand was acquired by Acme in the early 1980s. Collectors value this specific detail, as the image was phased out in later years despite its reputation among anglers for being the core identity of the design. The hardware, including the split ring and treble hook, remains in excellent shape, earning a 5/5 condition rating. Product Code 1237 marks this as an authentic USA-made piece, intended for versatile use across various freshwater environments.
