Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl) UV, 1/2oz nickel/green UV fishing spoon #21019

Nickel and UV green finishes split this 1/2oz (14g) spoon down its center, creating a high-contrast visual profile designed for visibility in various water conditions. Stamped on the concave side is the iconic 'Hula Girl' dancer, the hallmark of original Seneca Lure Company production before the brand was acquired by Acme in the early 1980s. Modern versions lack this specific dancer image, making these Seneca-stamped specimens a priority for collectors. Identified by product code 21019, the spoon measures 2 1/4" (5.5cm) and is equipped with a treble hook featuring its original brass-colored wrapping at the shank. The condition is rated at 5/5, showing a very well-maintained surface where the nickel remains reflective and the neon green paint is crisp. This specific 1/2oz (14g) weight is historically favored for long-distance casting from the shore or piers when targeting trout and salmon.
