Museum Archive: Vintage Looter Acme, 1/8oz White Pearl / Bright Blue fishing spoon #0370

Hammered surface textures on lures like this Looter are a classic design choice, meant to break up light reflections into a series of smaller flashes rather than one solid glare. Manufactured in the USA, this specimen weighs in at 1/8 oz (3.6g) and measures 2 1/4" (6cm) in length. The finish consists of a clean White Pearl that transitions into a Bright Blue border along the tapered edges, while the reverse side remains a high-polish silver. Identified by product code 0370, this particular lure is in excellent condition, rated 5/5, showing the original factory sheen on both the painted and metal surfaces. It features sturdy split rings on both ends, with a single hook attached at the rear—a configuration favored for trolling to minimize hang-ups while maintaining a secure hookset. The dimpled surface is a hallmark of Acme's approach to light diffusion on their metal spoons.
