Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 1/2oz nickel /red fishing spoon #21489

Weighted at 1/2 oz (14 g), this solid metal spoon is engineered for significant casting distance and stability. The front face features a bright orange finish accented with black dots and three diagonal silver stripes, while the reverse side is stamped with the iconic 'Hula Girl' dancer. This specific stamping identifies it as an original Seneca Lure production from the USA, dating before the Acme acquisition in the early 1980s when the dancer logo was retired. Many seasoned anglers still seek out these Seneca-era specimens, believing the specific silhouette of the dancer was essential to the lure's historical success. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, the lure is equipped with a sturdy treble hook attached via a split ring. Carrying a 5/5 condition rating, the specimen shows remarkably preserved paint on the front and a bright, reflective nickel finish on the back. The product code for this particular item is 21489.
