Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 3/4oz nickel fishing spoon #21961

At a solid 3/4oz (21g), this nickel-plated spoon carries the weight needed for long-distance casting or deep-water trolling. The back of the 2 1/2" (6.5cm) body features the legendary Hula Girl stamp, a hallmark of the Seneca Lure Co. out of New York before the brand was acquired by Acme in the early 1980s. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 21961, remains in 5/5 condition, showing off a clean, mirror-like nickel finish that reflects light brilliantly across its curved surface. The hardware includes a robust treble hook secured by a heavy-duty split ring, typical of the reliable USA-made construction from that era. Experienced anglers often hunt for these original Seneca-made Cleos because the dancer icon was eventually removed from later Acme productions, despite many veterans swearing she was the secret charm to the lure's historical success.
