Museum Archive: Vintage Tony Accetta Pet Spoon, 1/16oz Nickel fishing spoon #5148

Weighing in at a delicate 1/16 oz (1.8 g), this Tony Accetta creation is a classic example of early ultra-light design. The nickel plating on this Pet Spoon provides a high-contrast reflective surface, complemented by a hand-tied white bucktail tail section. A single hook is permanently riveted to the body, making it a dedicated weedless tool for picking through light vegetation or structure. Based on the stamped branding, this USA-made specimen carries the legacy of Tony Accetta's famous spoon designs. Measuring exactly 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) in length, it’s a compact profile intended for casting in both fresh and saltwater environments. This specific specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing a bright, clean nickel finish across its entire surface and well-preserved natural fibers. Under product code 5148, the lure features a small split ring at the line tie for direct rigging.
