Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 3/4oz Trout / Nickel fishing spoon #16386

Weighing a substantial 3/4 oz (21 g), the metal body of this spoon offers the necessary density for reaching deeper water columns during a cast. The nickel-plated back is stamped with the iconic "Hula Girl" dancer, a signature detail from the original Seneca Lure company era before the brand was acquired in the early 1980s. Many veteran anglers believe this specific stamping, found on product code 16386, carries a certain charm that modern versions lack. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm), the face is decorated in a Trout color scheme, featuring a white center with blue and pink edges and several black dots. The hardware consists of a robust treble hook connected via a split ring, showcasing the classic construction of a USA-made tool. This specimen is presented in a 4/5 condition, appearing well-maintained with the soft evidence of age that collectors of vintage Seneca tackle appreciate.
