A brilliant nickel finish provides the foundation for this 2 1/2" (6.5cm) casting spoon, which features a distinctive holographic prism tape pattern applied to half of its convex surface. Flipping the lure reveals the iconic Hula Girl stamp, a hallmark of the Seneca Lure company era before the Acme acquisition in the early 1980s. Many veteran anglers still swear by this specific "dancer" version, believing the stamped figure added a unique appeal that later models lacked. Weighing 3/4oz (21g), the specimen carries the original "Wig-L-Lure" branding alongside the dancer on the concave side and is identified by product code 18238. Both the metal body and the heavy-duty treble hook remain in excellent form, warranting a condition rating of 5/5. Authentic Seneca craftsmanship is evident in the sharp, well-defined stampings found on the interior curve of the metal.
