Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl) trolling spoon , 3/16oz Nickel / Green fishing spoon #14824

A stamped Hula Girl dancer on the reverse side of this Nickel / Green trolling spoon distinguishes it from later mass-produced iterations. Produced by the Seneca Lure company before the brand was acquired by Acme in the early 1980s, this specific model, carrying Product Code 14824, is a classic example of American tackle history. It weighs 3/16 oz (5 g) and measures 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length. Many anglers hold to the tradition that the presence of the dancer logo was the key to the lure's reputation. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, maintaining a bright, clean surface on both the painted and metallic portions. The single hook is securely attached via the split ring, suitable for the intended trolling use. Made in the USA, this lure represents the era when the Seneca name was synonymous with this iconic profile.
