Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 1/2oz nikiel/biały/czerwony fishing spoon #19454

Stamped deeply into the nickel plating, the iconic "Hula Girl" dancer marks this 1/2 oz (14 g) specimen as a genuine Seneca Lure Company production. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), this Little Cleo (Hula Girl) carries the distinctive "WIGL LURE" branding beneath the dancer—a detail lost after the brand was acquired by Acme in the early 1980s. The front face features a smooth white-to-red gradient finish, accented by a bold yellow eye with a black pupil near the line tie. Rated 5/5, the finish remains remarkably bright, preserving the intricate engraving on the back alongside the original brass-sleeved treble hook. Many veteran anglers swear by these original Seneca versions, believing the Hula Girl engraving was the secret behind the lure's legendary status. Identified by Product Code 19454, its weight and teardrop shape are designed for long-distance casting and deep-water presentation.
