Museum Archive: Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 1/3oz Nickel / Orange fishing spoon #7721

Tipping the scales at 1/3oz (10g), the vibrant orange finish on this casting spoon's convex face serves as a canvas for the legendary stamped dancer. This 1 3/4" (4.5cm) specimen represents the original production by the Seneca Lure company, an era highly sought after by collectors before the brand was acquired by Acme in the early 1980s. Many veteran anglers believe the inclusion of the 'Hula Girl' was the secret to its success, a feature that was eventually discontinued in later manufacturing. Identified by product code 7721, the lure features a high-polished nickel finish on the reverse side to provide contrast. This specific item is unused, maintaining the integrity of its metal surfaces and the sharpness of its original treble hook. The hardware remains tight and ready for use, reflecting the American-made quality that established this spoon as a staple in freshwater fishing history.
