Half-nickel and half-green metallic finishes create a high-contrast flash on the face of this 3/4oz (21g) classic spoon. Turning the lure over reveals the stamped image of the iconic dancer, a hallmark of the original Seneca Lure company production before the brand was acquired by Acme in the early 1980s. This 2 1/2" (6.5cm) specimen, identified by product code 5848, remains in 5/5 condition with a bright, reflective surface and crisp engravings. Unlike contemporary versions, this vintage 'Wig-L Lure' includes the 'Hula Girl' engraving that many veteran anglers believe was the true secret to the model's legendary reputation. The underside clearly displays the weight stamping and the Seneca branding alongside a stout, original-style treble hook.
