Six vibrant red spots punctuate the bright yellow finish of this 3/16oz (5g) spoon, a classic design that remains a staple for trolling enthusiasts. Produced by the Seneca Lure company prior to their early 1980s acquisition by Acme, this model carries the famous "Hula Girl" dancer stamp on its nickel-plated reverse side. This specific specimen, identified by product code 12783, measures 2 1/4" (5.5cm) and is presented in 5/5 condition. The finish incorporates specialized UV properties, allowing the body to emit a bright green glow in low-light conditions while maintaining the contrast of the red dots. It is rigged with a robust treble hook and a high-quality split ring, characteristic of the original American-made Seneca series.
