Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Sidewinder, 3/4oz Nickel fishing spoon #0569

Weighing in at 3/4oz (21g), the density of this metal spoon makes it a reliable tool for distance casting and reaching deeper water columns. The 3" (7.5cm) body is finished in a high-sheen Nickel, featuring a distinct stamped scale pattern that reflects the manufacturing heritage of Acme lures made in the USA. Identified by product code 0569, the Sidewinder name is clearly embossed along the side, showcasing the precision metalwork typical of this brand. This specimen is rated 5/5 for condition, as the polished surfaces and hardware remain remarkably clean and well-preserved. A sturdy treble hook is attached at the rear via a split ring, while a matching ring at the nose provides a secure connection for line attachment. The specific curvature of the stamped metal is designed for steady retrieves and trolling applications.
