Museum Archive: Vintage Little Cleo Seneca UV, 1/4oz fishing spoon #16589

Graduating from a bright yellow at the narrow end to a deep lime green at the wide end, the paint finish on this 1/4oz (7g) spoon provides high contrast. This 1 1/2" (4cm) Little Cleo Seneca UV, cataloged as product code 16589, represents the original production by Seneca Lure before the brand was absorbed by Acme in the early 1980s. A significant feature of this specific model is the high-visibility UV finish, which glows a luminous green in dark environments, as seen in the secondary low-light image. Manufactured in the USA, the metal body is stamped with its recognizable teardrop shape and remains in a 5/5 condition. The lure is equipped with a silver-toned treble hook and a robust split ring, suitable for casting or trolling setups.
