Nickel plating accented by a vibrant orange diagonal stripe defines the visual profile of this classic trolling spoon. Stamped into the reverse side is the iconic "Hula Girl" figure, a detail specific to the original Seneca Lure company production before the brand's acquisition by Acme in the early 1980s. Collectors often seek out these Seneca-era pieces specifically for the presence of the dancer, as later models omitted this engraving. Weighing 3/16oz (5g) and measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in length, this specimen carries the product code 14827. The hardware is comprised of a split ring and a treble hook with a brass-colored sleeve. It is presented in 5/5 condition, maintaining a clean finish and sharp, legible stamping. This piece represents a period of American tackle history where visual branding was as essential as the physical construction of the lure.
