Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl) , 1/2oz nickel/gold fishing spoon #23493

Nickel and gold finishes blend across the surface of this 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) spoon, showing the character of a lure that has seen its share of water. This specific specimen, identified by product code 23493, is the highly collectible "Hula Girl" version manufactured by Seneca Lure in the USA. On the concave back, the iconic stamped image of the hula dancer remains visible alongside the "LITTLE CLEO" and "WIG LURE" branding—a feature that was famously removed after Acme took over production in the early 1980s. Many veteran anglers maintain that this specific stamping was the secret to the lure's legendary status. Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), it provides substantial mass for long-distance casting. The original hardware, including the split ring and treble hook, shows signs of its vintage journey, resulting in a condition rating of 3/5. It stands as a genuine piece of angling history from the era before the design was simplified for modern mass production.
