Gold-finished scales are deeply etched into the surface of this 3" (7.5cm) spoon, a hallmark of the Acme Side-Winder's design. Carrying a substantial weight of 3/4oz (21g), this American-made lure is built for depth and distance. The stamped "SIDE-WINDER" lettering sits clearly against the polished body, which shows a condition rating of 5/5 with a surface that reflects light brilliantly, showing its original quality from the USA. Anglers often turn to this model for vertical jigging, especially through the ice, where it produces a distinct trembling motion on the drop. When worked with slower, deliberate lifts, the spoon transitions into a rocking side-to-side motion that mimics a struggling shad or shiner. The hardware is secured by a sturdy split ring at the head and a sharp treble hook at the tail, ready for trophy-sized targets. Identified by product code 21162, the lure’s tapered profile allows it to cut through the water column efficiently.
