Museum Archive: Vintage Little Cleo Seneca, 1/4oz Nickel / Blue fishing spoon #12646

Nickel and Blue finishes decorate the front of this 1/4 oz (7 g) casting spoon, a profile that has remained a favorite among trout anglers for decades. Measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm) in length, the lure features the iconic teardrop shape frequently utilized for long-distance casting. Flip the specimen over to find the deeply embossed 'Little Cleo Wigl-Lure A Seneca Lure' branding, which specifically identifies this as a pre-1980s production piece from the Seneca Lure company based in the USA. The metal surfaces are bright and the blue paint is exceptionally well-retained, earning this item a condition rating of 5/5. It comes rigged with its original treble hook attached by a robust split ring, and the line-tie hole remains clean and free of obstruction. Identified by product code 12646, the heavy plating and stamping reflect the high manufacturing standards of the original Seneca factory.
