Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 1/2oz Pearl / Blue / Nickel fishing spoon #2030

Weighing exactly 1/2 oz (14 g) and measuring 2 1/4 inches (5.5 cm), the stamped reverse side marks this as a genuine Seneca-made piece from before the brand's early 1980s acquisition. The nickel-plated back displays the famous 'Hula Girl' dancer engraving, a classic detail that many seasoned anglers believe contributed to the lure's historical success. On the front, a Pearl and Blue gradient is applied over the metal base to create a high-contrast visual. This USA-manufactured specimen carries the product code 2030 and features the original Seneca branding stamped directly into the metal. Modern versions produced by Acme lack this specific dancer graphic, making these earlier editions particularly interesting for vintage tackle enthusiasts. It is found in 5/5 condition, maintaining a bright finish on both the painted and plated surfaces. The lure is rigged with a robust treble hook attached by a factory split ring.
