ACME East Little Cleo Spoon

The signature hump-back design is the key. It forces the lure to wobble and dart in an erratic, side-to-side motion that closely mimics the movement of a wounded baitfish, which is often the trigger for a predatory strike.

Yes, it is highly versatile. You can cast it from the shore, troll it behind a boat, or drop it for vertical jigging, making it a reliable multi-purpose tool for your tackle box.

This lure is particularly effective for trout and smallmouth bass. Its size and action are designed to appeal to these specific gamefish, especially during the active feeding windows of spring and fall.

Absolutely. The 1/8 oz to 1/4 oz range is lightweight, meaning it is best suited for lighter spinning tackle. If you are casting, you may need to adjust your retrieve speed to keep it at the desired depth, as it will naturally run shallower than heavier spoons.

It is an excellent choice for beginners because it is very forgiving. The erratic action is built into the design of the spoon itself, so you don't need advanced rod manipulation techniques to make it look enticing to fish.
