Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl) trolling spoon UV, 1/8oz Yellow / Green fishing spoon #12518

Graded at a 5 for its exceptional preservation, this 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) specimen represents a cherished era of American tackle craftsmanship. Originating from the Seneca Lure company prior to the 1980s Acme acquisition, this specific trolling spoon features the iconic Hula Girl dancer stamped on its reverse—a detail many collectors believe is the secret to its historical success. The front face showcases a vibrant yellow and green gradient that, as shown in the secondary image, is fully UV-reactive and glows brightly for visibility in deeper water. Carrying product code 12518, the 1/8 oz (4 g) lure is rigged with a robust treble hook and a clean split ring at the head for secure line attachment.
