Museum Archive: Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl) UV, 1/3oz Yellow / Red / Nickel fishing spoon #12785

Five bold red dots stand out against a vibrant yellow fluorescent finish on this classic casting spoon. Weighing 1/3oz (10g) and measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm), the metal body is paired with a sharp treble hook and a robust split ring. Under low-light conditions, the finish reveals its UV glow properties, a technical feature designed for deep or murky water visibility. This particular specimen, identified by product code 12785, includes the legendary "Hula Girl" dancer stamp on its nickel reverse side. This hallmark signifies its origin as an authentic Seneca Lure production from the USA before the brand's acquisition by Acme in the early 1980s. Many veteran anglers specifically seek out these original Seneca versions because of the belief that the dancer motif was key to the lure's historical success. This lure is unused.
