Vibrant chartreuse green paint accented by bold red spots and reflective silver diagonal bars covers the convex face of this 1/3 oz (10 g) spoon. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in length, this specimen represents the classic Seneca era of the Little Cleo (Hula Girl), dating from the period before the brand was acquired by Acme. Flipping the lure reveals the definitive stamped image of the dancing hula girl alongside the "WIGL LURE" hallmark, a feature many seasoned anglers believe is essential to the lure's historical success. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, maintaining a polished nickel finish on the back and crisp paint on the front. Secured by a split ring, the original silver-toned treble hook remains attached to the tail of the 5661 series body. The distinctive humped profile is a hallmark of the Seneca design, intended for effective casting across diverse water depths.
