Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 1/2oz White Pearl / Red / Nickel fishing spoon #2604

Tipping the scales at 1/2 oz (14 g), this vintage find showcases the classic craftsmanship of the Seneca Lure company. The front face is dressed in a striking White Pearl and Red gradient finish. Flipping the 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) spoon over reveals the hallmark of its heritage: the stamped Hula Girl dancer on the polished nickel backside. This specific detail identifies it as an original Seneca production from before the brand's acquisition by Acme in the early 1980s. Collectors often search for these older versions because the dancer image was eventually removed, yet many veterans swear the Hula Girl was the secret to the lure's effectiveness. Listed under Product Code 2604, the specimen sits in 5/5 condition, retaining its original treble hook and bright metallic luster.
