Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl) trolling spoon UV, 1/8oz fishing spoon #12940

Gradient tones of bright yellow transitioning into a vivid green define the finish of this particular spoon. Weighing in at 1/8oz (4g) and measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm), the metal body carries the iconic "Hula Girl" dancer stamp on its reverse side. This hallmark identifies it as an original production from the Seneca Lure company, a feature that collectors prioritize since the image was discontinued after Acme acquired the brand in the early 1980s. Many experienced anglers maintain that the presence of the dancer is what truly established this lure's legendary status in the water. Designed primarily for trolling, the hardware consists of a robust split ring and a sharp treble hook. A standout characteristic of this specimen is its reactive coating; under low-light or UV conditions, the paint emits a strong green glow. Listed under product code 12940, the spoon remains in excellent condition with a rating of 5/5, showing a vibrant and well-preserved surface.
