Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Side-winder, 1/2oz Black / Red fishing spoon #8312

A bold black and red split-paint pattern covers the face of this 3" (7.5 cm) spoon, identifying it as a classic Acme Side-winder. Weighing 1/2 oz (14 g), the lure's signature s-curved metal profile features the name "SIDE-WINDER" stamped into the lower black section. This specimen, carrying product code 8312, is presented in 5/5 condition, displaying a very well-preserved finish with only minor wear visible along the edges. The back of the spoon is coated in a solid black paint, while the hardware consists of robust split rings and a sharp treble hook. Manufactured in the USA, the design includes a small red dot near the top eyelet to serve as a visual trigger.
