Museum Archive: Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 1/2oz Nickel / Green fishing spoon #5198

Nickel and green accents define the finish on this vintage Seneca spoon, which remains in its original factory packaging. Identified as product code 5198, this 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) Little Cleo (Hula Girl) is an unused specimen that predates the brand's acquisition by Acme. Anglers often search for these original Seneca-made versions specifically for the iconic dancer stamped on the back, a feature that was eventually phased out. The spoon weighs 1/2 oz (14 g) and is presented on the classic blue-grey card with bold orange typography. This "Wigl-Lure" is equipped with a treble hook and is a representative piece of American tackle history from the Seneca Lure company. The blister pack has kept the nickel plating bright, while the cardstock displays the original "The Wigglin' Killer" branding and USA origin.
