Acme Little Cleo 1/3oz Nickel Neon Blue
The Acme Little Cleo 1/3oz Nickel Neon Blue is a classic spoon lure built for freshwater and saltwater anglers targeting aggressive predators. This hard-bait spoon delivers the seductive wobble that has made the Little Cleo a trusted choice for over 30 years among hunters of salmon, steelhead, trout, pike, bass, and walleye. The nickel finish with neon blue accents cuts through varying water clarity while its distinctive hump-backed shape generates the kind of erratic, life-like action that triggers strikes from competitive gamefish.
At 1/3 ounce, this spoon balances castability with enough weight to reach deeper structure and cut through moderate current. The Nickel Neon Blue colorway is a proven combination for low-light conditions and stained water, where the reflective nickel base combined with the high-visibility neon blue attracts fish from distance before they commit to the strike.
Whether you're working a mountain stream for wild trout, targeting steelhead in Pacific Northwest rivers, or pitching to pike in stillwater, the Little Cleo's proven track record speaks for itself. Its compact profile and responsive action make it equally at home in tight cover or open water, and its durability means it'll handle repeated casts and aggressive fish without losing its edge.
