Acme Little Cleo 1/6oz Gold

The Acme Little Cleo 1/6oz Gold is a compact spoon that delivers where it counts—in the strike zone. This is the lure for anglers targeting salmon, steelhead, and trout in rivers and streams where a smaller profile and natural action matter. The gold finish catches light and flash in a way that triggers aggressive strikes from predatory fish, making it equally effective on pike, bass, and walleye when conditions demand a refined presentation.

What sets the Little Cleo apart is its distinctive hump-backed shape, which creates a seductive, side-to-side wiggling motion as it moves through the water. That action works because it mimics wounded baitfish—the exact profile that hungry gamefish are conditioned to chase. Whether you're casting into current, working a slack pool, or covering water systematically, this spoon's proven track record speaks for itself.

At 1/6 ounce, the Little Cleo is light enough for precise casting and sensitive enough to feel bottom structure and cover, but substantial enough to punch through moderate current and reach deeper lies. It's the kind of lure that's been refined over decades because it simply works. Keep one tied on when you're after salmon and steelhead, and don't sleep on it for trout in clear water or when larger predators are in the system.
