Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl) trolling spoon Glow, 3/16oz White / Orange / Nickel fishing spoon #7120

A distinct split-color finish of white and orange covers the convex side of this 3/16 oz (5 g) spoon, designed for high visibility during trolling. This white paint is a glow-in-the-dark finish, identifying it as part of the specialized Glow series under product code 7120. Turning the 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) body over reveals the classic nickel-plated reverse stamped with the iconic 'Hula Girl' dancer. This specific mark confirms its origin as a Seneca Lure company production before the brand's acquisition by Acme in the early 1980s, when the dancer graphic was still a standard feature. The hardware consists of a single large hook connected by a heavy-duty split ring, built for the rigors of trolling. The painted surface and metal plating are extremely well-preserved, showing only minimal handling marks that reflect a 5/5 condition rating. The 'Little Cleo' and 'Seneca Lure' branding is stamped deeply into the nickel, remaining crisp and easily readable.
