Stamped clearly into the brass-colored backside, the 'Hula Girl' icon distinguishes this Seneca-era classic from its modern successors. Weighing in at 3/4 oz (21g), the Little Cleo (Hula Girl) is a heavyweight spoon designed for long-distance casting or deep trolling. This specific model, Product Code 7001, measures 2 1/2" (6.5cm) and features a two-tone Gold finish with a prismatic tape overlay on one half of the front face. Produced in the USA by the Seneca Lure company before the early 1980s Acme acquisition, this specimen retains the iconic dancer mark that many anglers swear by for luck. The reverse side is clearly marked with 'WIGL LURE' and the weight, showing off a condition rating of 5/5. The hardware consists of a sturdy split ring and a sharp treble hook attached to the rear eyelet.
