Museum Archive: Vintage Little Cleo Seneca UV, 1/4oz Yellow / Green / Nickel fishing spoon #15833

A vibrant yellow-to-green gradient defines the face of a 1/4oz (7g) metal spoon, representing a classic design from the Seneca Lure era. These original Little Cleo models were produced by Seneca Lure before the brand was acquired by Acme in the early 1980s, marking this Little Cleo Seneca UV as a significant piece of American tackle history. Measuring 1 1/2" (4cm) in length, the lure features the distinctive wide-bellied shape synonymous with the Cleo line, paired with a sturdy treble hook secured by a split ring. While the front features bright paint, the back of the spoon maintains its original nickel finish. Under low-light conditions or UV exposure, the painted surface exhibits a strong luminous glow designed to increase visibility in deeper or stained water. This specimen, identified by product code 15833, is in 5/5 condition, with no visible wear on the finish or hardware. It was manufactured in the USA, reflecting the specific manufacturing standards of pre-Acme production.
