Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Side-Winder, 1/3oz fishing spoon #22267

Stamped with a detailed scale pattern across its brass body, this Acme Side-Winder (Product Code 22267) is a quintessential American-made jigging spoon. Weighing in at 1/3 oz (9 g) and measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), the lure features a distinct curved profile designed for vertical presentations and casting. The "SIDE-WINDER" name is deeply engraved on the side, just below a stylized fish head with a concentric circle eye. Anglers frequently utilize this model for ice fishing and vertical jigging, relying on its geometry to produce rocking movements that simulate a wounded shad or shiner. This specific specimen maintains a 5/5 condition rating, with its metallic finish remaining bright and free of wear. The tail is rigged with a sturdy treble hook attached via a split ring, while the nose features a cleanly punched line-tie hole for direct rigging.
