Dressed in a vibrant Gold and Red finish, this small spoon captures light through a distinct scale-like texture embossed onto its metal body. Weighing in at a light 3/32oz (2.5g), the 1 1/4" (3cm) Acme Phoebe features a curved, fish-like profile that distinguishes it from more traditional teardrop spoons. On the smooth underside, you'll find the authentic 'PHOEBE' and 'USA' stamps clearly visible, marking its heritage as a classic American-made lure. The paint pattern transitions from a deep red-pink scale motif near the head to a solid metallic gold at the tail, mimicking the natural shimmer of small forage. This specimen, identified by product code 6496, is in exceptional 5/5 condition, retaining its original high-gloss luster and clean hardware. Its unique hydrodynamic properties allow for effective use at various depths depending on the retrieval speed. A sturdy split ring connects the original bronze-finished treble hook to the tail, ensuring it remains as functional as it is collectible.
