A weight of 3/4 oz (21 g) gives this vintage casting spoon the density needed to reach specific depths during a retrieve. Coated in a striking Nickel and Green finish, the metal body measures 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) and is identified by product code 5800. Collectors will recognize this as a genuine piece from the Seneca Tackle Co. era out of Providence, R.I., produced before the brand's acquisition by Acme in the early 1980s. The defining feature for many anglers is the iconic "Hula Girl" dancer stamped on the reverse side—a detail that was eventually removed from modern production. This specimen remains unused, still housed in its original 1960s-era red and white wavy-lined card packaging, which displays characteristic storage wear from its decades of history.
