Measuring exactly 1 1/4" (3 cm) in length, this Seneca spoon features a classic teardrop profile that has become a staple in tackle boxes for decades. The finish is split vertically down the center: one half is a bright, polished nickel providing a high-flash contrast against the other half's vibrant fluorescent green. Under ultraviolet light, the green side transforms into a brilliant glow, a feature specifically designed to increase visibility in low-light conditions or deeper water. This Little Cleo UV model is a thinner version of the traditional design, carrying the original Seneca Lure branding from before the company was acquired by Acme in the early 1980s. Weighing in at 1/16 oz (1.8 g), it is ideally suited for light tackle applications and trolling. The specimen is rated at 5/5, showing a beautifully preserved surface on both the plated and painted sides. Identified by product code 6499, this USA-made lure comes equipped with its original treble hook and sturdy split rings, representing a bridge between classic metal construction and the advent of specialized fluorescent coatings in the American fishing industry.
