Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl) UV, 3/4oz nickel/chartreuse UV fishing spoon #19665

A substantial 3/4 oz (21 g) weight anchors this vintage spoon, which features a vibrant nickel and chartreuse UV split-color finish on its convex face. Flipping the lure over reveals the iconic Hula Girl dancer stamped into the nickel alongside the Seneca brand's hallmark LITTLE CLEO and weight designation. This specific specimen, carrying product code 19665, represents the classic era of Seneca Lure production before the design was simplified by Acme in the early 1980s. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) in length, the metal body remains in beautiful condition, rated 5/5 for its clean surfaces and intact hardware. The bright chartreuse UV paint transition is crisp, providing a high-contrast visual for deep-water visibility. It comes rigged with a strong treble hook and heavy-duty split ring, ready for casting or display. The dancer's presence on the back is a detail many veteran anglers swear by, noting it as a key feature of the spoon's legendary status in tackle boxes across the USA.
