Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 1/3oz blue pearl/nickel fishing spoon #20180

Weighing in at 1/3 oz (10g), this particular Little Cleo specimen showcases the classic nickel-plated reverse side stamped with the iconic "Hula Girl" dancer. It measures 1 3/4" (4.5cm) in length. The front finish is a striking blue pearl over a nickel base, showing some light surface wear that reflects its history. Originating from the Seneca Lure company in the USA, this lure carries the legendary hula dancer figure that was a staple before Acme acquired the brand in the early 1980s. Many seasoned anglers still swear that the presence of the dancer on the back is a secret charm for success on the water. The hardware remains robust, featuring a sturdy treble hook attached via a split ring. The overall condition is a solid 4/5, preserving the "WIGL" stamp and fine details of the hula girl engraving. Product code 20180 identifies this specific historical piece.
