Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo UV, 1/4oz Yellow / Orange / Nickel fishing spoon #7609

Orange and yellow gradients define the face of this 1 1/2" (4cm) spoon, a distinct color scheme designed for high visibility. Bearing the hallmark of the original Seneca Lure company from before the brand's early 1980s acquisition by Acme, this American-made specimen represents a specific era in mid-century tackle manufacturing. Under UV light, the fluorescent yellow section transitions into a bright green glow, a feature specifically engineered to remain detectable in deeper or murky waters. Cataloged under product code 7609, the 1/4oz (7g) lure retains its original nickel backing and factory paint in excellent condition, rated 5/5. The hardware remains crisp, featuring a sharp treble hook and a strong split ring intended for casting or trolling.
