Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl) UV, 1/2oz nickel/red/yellow UV fishing spoon #22785

Vibrant neon yellow paint covers the convex face of this 1/2oz (14g) spoon, accented by five distinct orange dots and a specialized UV finish. Flipping it over reveals the legendary stamped 'Hula Girl' dancer on the polished nickel backside, a defining characteristic of original Seneca production from the USA before Acme discontinued the icon in the early 1980s. Measuring exactly 2 1/4" (5.5cm), this specimen is a classic example of the Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl) UV (Product Code: 22785) in 5/5 condition. The hardware consists of a robust silver-tone split ring connected to a needle-sharp treble hook. Many seasoned collectors prefer these original Seneca-made versions specifically for the detailed embossing that helped build the lure's reputation decades ago.
