Half of the nickel-finished body is covered in a vibrant orange paint, creating a classic high-visibility contrast on this 1/2 oz (14 g) spoon. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), the specimen features the iconic "Hula Girl" dancer stamp on its reverse side, a sought-after detail from when the design was produced by the Seneca Lure Company. This specific item, identified by product code 6994, carries a 5/5 condition rating with the orange finish remaining bold and the nickel surface mirror-bright. Stamped with "LITTLE CLEO" and "WIGL LURE" alongside the hula graphic, it represents the era before Acme simplified the design and removed the dancer engraving. The hardware is comprised of a sharp treble hook attached via a robust split ring, while a single hole is punched at the nose for direct line attachment or a snap.
This specific lure has found its new home. However, we have selected some excellent alternatives for you below.
