Museum Archive: Vintage Tony Accetta Pet Spoon 15, 1/2oz Nickel fishing spoon #3511

Green feathers tied to the single hook catch the light and add a natural texture to the sleek nickel body of this American classic. Weighing 1/2oz (14g) and measuring 3 1/4" (8cm), this Tony Accetta Pet Spoon 15 is a quintessential example of mid-century fishing innovation from the USA. The manufacturer, Tony Accetta, was a world-champion caster, and his designs reflect that expertise in casting distance and accuracy. This specific specimen carries the product code 3511 and is built for heavy cover with its integrated weedless wire guard, allowing it to navigate vegetation without snagging. The high-polish nickel finish remains bright, earning a condition rating of 5/5 for its well-maintained surface and intact hardware. A single, large screw secures the hook assembly to the stamped metal body, a hallmark of the Pet Spoon's durable construction. Looking at the underside, the metal is stamped with the manufacturer's details, confirming its pedigree as a genuine Accetta lure. The vibrant green plumage is securely attached, providing a visual contrast to the silver flash of the spoon.
