Museum Archive: Vintage Tony Accetta HOBO, 2/5oz Gold fishing spoon #13371

Gold plating covers the 2 1/4" (5.5cm) spoon body of this Tony Accetta HOBO, which remains in exceptional 5/5 condition. Weighing 2/5oz (12g), this US-made lure features a prominent weedless wire guard designed to navigate through heavy cover without snagging. The underside reveals the characteristic screw-fastened assembly that Tony Accetta became famous for after his tournament casting success led him into lure manufacturing. A vibrant tuft of lime green feathers is securely bound to the trailing edge, providing a visual contrast against the polished metal surface. Cataloged under product code 13371, the stamped lettering on the convex side remains crisp and clear. The single-hook configuration is protected by the spring-tensioned wire, reflecting a design intended for casting into thick vegetation where bass or pike hide.
