Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl) trolling spoon, 3/16oz Nickel / Orange fishing spoon #6381

Nickel and vibrant orange paint define the face of this 3/16oz (6g) Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl) trolling spoon, a true staple for fans of vintage American tackle. Identified by product code 6381, this 2 1/4" (6cm) specimen carries the highly sought-after 'Hula Girl' dancer engraving on its reverse side. This specific stamping confirms its origin as a Seneca Lure company product, dating before the Acme acquisition in the early 1980s when the dancer was eventually retired from the design. The lure is presented in 5/5 condition, maintaining a bright metallic finish and crisp paint lines across its teardrop-shaped body. For hardware, it utilizes a single hook attached via a split ring, intended for traditional trolling techniques. The rear face features the stamped manufacturer name alongside the dancer icon directly above the hook attachment point.
