Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Wonderlure, 2/5oz Nickel / Orange fishing spoon #4152

Measuring exactly 2 1/4" (6 cm) in length, the spoon features a vibrant orange paint stripe running down its center against a polished nickel body. This 2/5 oz (12 g) Wonderlure, manufactured by Acme in the USA under product code 4152, represents a classic piece of American tackle history. One side displays the orange stripe for contrast, while the reverse side shows a clear, stamped identification. Its hardware is secured with a robust split ring, and the treble hook remains sharp and functional. Rated at 4/5, the lure shows gentle signs of age while remaining in great condition, with the orange pigment retaining its bold visibility. These spoons were built for versatility in both casting and trolling applications. The weight distribution in the 12 g (2/5 oz) body is concentrated to assist with casting distance.
