Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 3/4oz Red / White / Gold fishing spoon #7267

Weighing in at 3/4 oz (21 g), this vintage casting spoon feels substantial in the hand, designed for long-distance deliveries. The front face displays the recognizable red and white scalloped design, while the gold-toned back is where the real history lies. Stamped clearly into the metal is the iconic "hula girl" dancer, a detail that identifies this as an original Seneca Lure company piece from the era before the brand's acquisition by Acme in the early 1980s. Many seasoned anglers still swear by these dancer-stamped versions, believing the presence of the figure was the secret to the lure's early fame. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm), this specimen carries Product Code 7267 and remains in exceptional 5/5 condition, with its paint and gold finish looking remarkably fresh. The hardware consists of a sturdy split ring and a classic treble hook, ready for deep-water retrieval. Unlike modern versions that lack the hula girl, this Seneca-made Little Cleo preserves a specific chapter of American tackle manufacturing history right on its reverse side.
