Yellow enamel with black spots and polished nickel stripes characterizes the face of this vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl). This specific model, designated by product code 8686, weighs 2/3oz (18g) and measures 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in length. Flip the lure over to find the legendary hula dancer stamped into the nickel plating alongside the "WIGL" mark, a signature feature from the era before Seneca was acquired by Acme in the early 1980s. The finish on the front shows minimal wear, earning a solid 4/5 condition rating, while the rear retains its bright reflective quality. Originally manufactured in the USA, the spoon is equipped with its original split ring and a durable treble hook designed for casting and trolling. The presence of the dancer engraving is a significant detail for collectors, as it was eventually phased out of later production runs.
This specific lure has found its new home. However, we have selected some excellent alternatives for you below.
