Weighing in at 1 1/3 oz (38g), this heavy-gauge spoon from Acme Tackle Company showcases the classic American craftsmanship expected from a lure made in the USA. Measuring 4 1/2" (11.5cm), the Side-winder (Product Code 2451) features a high-visibility Nickel finish that remains exceptionally bright across its entire surface. On the convex side, a detailed scale pattern is stamped alongside the "SIDE-WINDER" name, a hallmark of Acme’s attention to visual texture. This specific specimen maintains a 5/5 condition, showing a smooth, mirror-like surface on the concave reverse. The hardware consists of a sturdy treble hook attached via a split ring, paired with a matching split ring at the line tie for heavy-duty casting applications. The thickness of the metal and the streamlined teardrop profile are designed for distance casting and reaching deeper water columns. This piece is a clean example of the nickel-plated series, retaining all its original luster.
