Museum Archive: Vintage Martin Tackle RMA Reel Magic, 3/64oz Silver / Glitter fishing spoon #15281

Weighing in at just 3/64oz (1.5g), this lightweight trolling lure from the USA demonstrates the specialized design philosophy Martin Tackle applied to their smaller offerings. Glistening silver glitter flakes are suspended within the clear plastic body of the Martin Tackle RMA Reel Magic, creating a highly reflective surface designed to catch light while submerged. This specimen, identified by product code 15281, measures exactly 1 1/2" (3.5cm) and remains in 5/5 condition, with its hardware showing the original bronze-toned finish. The construction includes a stout single hook connected via a split ring, paired with a small barrel swivel at the head to manage line twist during use. The Silver / Glitter finish is exceptionally well-preserved, with the coarse flakes appearing as sharp and bright as the day they were manufactured. This clean example of American plastic lure manufacturing was intended primarily for light-tackle trolling techniques.
