Acme Little Cleo 1/4oz Fire Tiger
The Acme Little Cleo 1/4oz Fire Tiger is a compact spoon designed for anglers targeting salmon, steelhead, and trout in streams and rivers where a smaller profile and lighter presentation matter. The Fire Tiger finish—a high-contrast striped pattern—delivers visibility in variable water conditions and has proven effective on predatory gamefish including pike, bass, and walleye. At a quarter ounce, this spoon casts easily in tight quarters and works well in moderate current without requiring heavy gear.
The Little Cleo's distinctive hump-backed shape produces a seductive side-to-side wiggle on the retrieve and during the drop, triggering strikes from fish that respond to wounded baitfish profiles. That compact, efficient action has made the Little Cleo a trusted choice among serious spoon fishermen for decades. The Fire Tiger pattern is especially useful in stained or turbid water where contrast and visibility encourage aggressive takes.
Whether you're swinging a spoon in a salmon run, probing pocket water for resident trout, or casting into pike habitat, the Little Cleo 1/4oz Fire Tiger delivers a proven, no-nonsense presentation. Pack a few in your spoon box and you'll have a versatile tool ready for multiple species and conditions.
