Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm) in length, this Seneca trolling spoon carries the iconic 'Hula Girl' dancer silhouette on its nickel-finished back. Weighing 1/8oz (4g), the lure features a striking yellow-to-green gradient on the front face that transforms into a bright neon glow when exposed to UV light. This specific model, product code 12087, represents the classic era of Seneca production before the brand's acquisition by Acme in the early 1980s. Collectors often seek out these earlier versions specifically for the dancer graphic, which was eventually discontinued but remains a symbol of the lure's historical success. The hardware includes a clean treble hook attached via a robust split ring, and the specimen is in top-tier 5/5 condition. The vibrant paint remains crisp, highlighting the transition between the citrus tones.
This specific lure has found its new home. However, we have selected some excellent alternatives for you below.
