Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl) Glow In Dark, 3/4oz nickel/white/blue Glow - glows in the dark fishing spoon #23040

Weighing in at a substantial 3/4oz (21g), this classic spoon is a prime example of the 23040 model from the Seneca Lure era. The face of the 2 1/2" (6.5cm) lure features a distinct two-tone finish, split vertically between a vibrant blue and a cream-white that retains its glow-in-the-dark properties. Flipping the lure over reveals the highly sought-after nickel finish stamped with the original Hula Girl dancer, a hallmark of authenticity from before the brand's acquisition by Acme in the early 1980s. Many seasoned collectors believe this specific dancer mark is what originally cemented the lure's reputation among anglers. The hardware remains robust, featuring a sturdy treble hook secured by a heavy-duty split ring. Rated at a 4/5, the body shows honest signs of use through minor paint loss on the convex side, revealing the metal beneath. Designed for casting or trolling, the spoon’s teardrop shape is a staple for those targeting larger game fish. The stamped backside also includes the WIGL LURE text, indicative of the Seneca production style used during that period.
