Museum Archive: Vintage Tony Accetta 7, 3/4oz Nickel fishing spoon #16371

Stamped clearly into the metal on the concave side, the Tony Accetta 7 mark identifies this classic spoon's American lineage. This nickel-finished lure measures 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length and weighs in at 3/4 oz (21 g). The design features a teardrop-shaped body that provides the density needed for long-distance casting or deep-water trolling. Its hardware consists of a sturdy split ring at the nose and a large treble hook secured to the tail. Tony Accetta, a champion bait caster, developed these spoons in the USA with a focus on durable construction that holds up in both fresh and saltwater environments. Rated at 5/5, the polished nickel surface remains remarkably bright and clear, reflecting the high-quality plating standards of its era. This specific specimen is identified by product code 16371 and retains sharp points on its original treble hook.
