Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 1/2oz Nickel / Green fishing spoon #13689

Polished nickel paired with a vibrant green stripe defines the aesthetic of this 1/2 oz (14 g) spoon. Produced by the Seneca Lure company in the USA under the product code 13689, this specific model carries the famous 'Hula Girl' dancer stamp on its reverse side. Many seasoned anglers still swear the silhouette of the dancer, alongside the 'WIGL LURE' and 'LITTLE CLEO' engravings, is what gave the original its legendary status before Acme acquired the brand and simplified the design in the early 1980s. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, the metal body retains a high-quality finish, earning it a condition rating of 4/5. The stamped details are remarkably crisp, and the original treble hook is securely attached via a sturdy split ring, making it a fine specimen for any collector interested in vintage casting and trolling hardware.
