Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl) Glow, 3/4oz fishing spoon #16087

The blue and white finish on this 3/4 oz (21 g) spoon transitions into a vibrant green glow under low-light conditions, a feature specifically designed for deep-water or night fishing. Stamped onto the reverse is the iconic 'Hula Girl' dancer, a hallmark of the original Seneca Lure company production before they were acquired by Acme in the early 1980s. Collectors often seek out these specific Seneca-made versions, as the dancer motif was eventually removed from later production runs. This specimen, assigned product code 16087, maintains its original hardware including a sturdy split ring and a reliable treble hook. The construction is solid, intended for long-distance casting or trolling in various water conditions. Rated at a 5/5 condition, the paint remains crisp across the teardrop-shaped body, preserving the split-color design that helped establish this model's reputation among North American anglers.
