Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo UV, 1/8oz Fire Tiger / Nickel fishing spoon #6497

Ultraviolet light reveals the hidden intensity of the Fire Tiger finish on this 1/8 oz (4 g) Seneca Little Cleo UV. Measuring 1 1/4" (3 cm) in length, the spoon displays a classic color progression from deep green to bright yellow and orange, finished with sharp black tiger stripes. Carrying the product code 6497, this lure is an authentic piece of USA-made tackle history from Seneca Lure, the original designer of the Cleo before the brand transitioned to Acme in the early 1980s. The specimen is in 5/5 condition, maintaining a clean surface and high-quality nickel plating on the reverse side. The attachment points consist of a robust split ring and a clean, silver-toned treble hook. The "Hula Girl" profile of the stamped metal body is designed for casting or trolling in various water conditions where high-visibility UV reactive finishes provide a distinct visual presence against the nickel-plated back.
