Embossed with a detailed scale pattern that provides a realistic three-dimensional appearance, this Acme metal spoon is a quintessential piece of American tackle history. This specimen, known as the Phoebe and carrying product code 7877, features a sleek copper finish across its 1 1/2" (4cm) length. Weighing 1/8oz (4g), the lure’s curved body includes a distinct dorsal fin and tapered tail, allowing it to be fished effectively at both shallow and deep levels. On the smooth reverse side, the name "PHOEBE" is clearly stamped into the metal, which remains in a 5/5 condition. The hardware is comprised of a silver-tone treble hook and split ring assembly at the rear, while a precision-drilled hole at the head is ready for your line tie.
